Ski touring taster weekend with a mountain guide
We take you into the world of ski touring, show you the basics and take you on your first great ski tours!
Technics
Endurance
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 we take more breaks than usual. We will spend the night in an SAC hut, perhaps it will be your first time. We will be happy to show you how things work in the huts and how you can enjoy your stay. During these days you will learn the basics of ski touring and practise using an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe.
Benefit from joint hire equipment at "Ski Rental Zueri" or "Sport Trend Shop Hinwil".
