To the dates and registration

We'll go on our first ski tours together and take the time to learn the basics and have great experiences on our first ski tours. We want to show you ski touring the way we love and enjoy it ourselves. Short, pleasant ascents at a leisurely pace followed by beautiful, less steep descents in powder snow. Together we will look at how to ascend on skis and give tips for descents in deep snow.
During the two days, we have time to cater to your needs and take more breaks than usual. We spend the night in a lovely hotel and can go on great tours on the doorstep.

Benefit from joint hire equipment at "Ski Rental Zueri" or "Sport Trend Shop Hinwil".
