Ski mountaineering preparation and training course with application tours Wildstrubel

Together we will prepare for the upcoming ski touring season. Gain safety and routine during ski mountaineering tours!

Technics

Endurance

During these three days of training, we aim to prepare ourselves properly for the coming ski mountaineering season. We go on short ski mountaineering tours on which we apply techniques that are used on the "Haute Route's" and many other ski mountaineering tours. We mount the crampons, tie the skis to the rucksack and rope up.

To gain experience and confidence, we will ski down a short and steep section with the support of a rope. You will also gain more experience with your own or other equipment. You will learn how to handle it better and become much more efficient in many areas. After these training days, you will be able to enjoy almost any high-altitude ski tour and will be ready for the Haute Route's
