Ski touring

Experience the untouched snow-covered mountain landscape away from the slopes

Note: Ski touring involves risks. As tempting as the photos may be, your safety always comes first. Away from the secured slopes and trails, you are responsible for yourself. If you do not have any knowledge of avalanches and snow conditions, we recommend hiring a mountain guide.

Important note

PLEASE NOTE!

Ski tours take place away from secured ski slopes. You use our tour suggestions at your own risk. We accept no liability for accidents or damage of any kind. If you are a beginner at ski touring, attend an avalanche course or book a mountain guide.
