Saturday Ski Tour

There is still plenty of snow, so let’s squeeze in one more ski tour before the end of winter. 

The Plan:
The location for the tour will be made available to participants on the Friday evening before the tour by the mountain guide leading the tour. Tour or Freeride, while the idea is that it will be somewhat tour focused if conditions on one of the tour days are perfect for freeriding this may be an alternative programme. The tour will take place regardless of weather conditions. The tour and location will be adapted to suit the prevailing conditions, but be run under the philosophy of no bad weather with the correct equipment.

The tour will be led by a local UAIGM qualified Mountain Guide. (Walter Gubler)

Tour Level:
The tour will not be too technically difficult, but will most likely (unless more freeride orientated) have in the region of 1000 to 1200m of ascent under your own power. Ascending with a pace of about 350m per hour is a prerequisite for participating in this tour. You should be comfortable in steeper off-piste terrain of up to approximately 40 degrees. 

Max No of Participants:
6 persons

Meeting Point:
The meeting point will be provided on the evening before the tour. Due to Covid carpooling is not recommended, (unless people wear masks) therefore it is best if you have some form of transportation to get to the tour location.

Cost:
150CHF

The guiding costs will need to be paid in advance to ensure the smooth running of the tour.

What to bring:

• Full Ski Touring Equipment (Skis, Skins, Crampons, Poles, Transceiver, Shovel, Probe)
• Appropriate Clothing
• Snacks to eat on the tour

Important to know:
Please pay for the tour as soon as registering. Full details will be given to paid participants on the night before the tour.

The tour will take place regardless of weather conditions. (If we have enough people registered).
