The Tux Alps are primarily known for their fantastic ski areas of Hochfügen, Kaltenbach, Penken and Hintertux. Just as fantastic for ski tourers are the parallel valleys, which are little or hardly developed. This applies first and foremost to the Weertal with the Weidener Hütte at just under 1,800m above sea level. Here you will find ski tours in almost all slope positions and gradients on the...

Similaun (3,599 m), Weißkugel (3,739 m) and Wildspitze (3,774 m) are among the highest peaks in Tyrol. And what's more: they can be skied side by side in a unique ski traverse. High alpine crossings, extensive glaciers and fantastic ski terrain await you in between. For this outstanding ski crossing, you should have experience of ski touring and be in good physical condition for the up to...

Fantastic ski touring days on the Julier Pass with a qualified mountain guide! In spring, you will find ideal conditions for ski tours on both sides of the weather divide on the Julier Pass. Just a few kilometers from the Engadin, countless ski touring peaks await you. Roccabella, Piz Turba or Piz Grevasalvas don't sound very spectacular, but a ski touring mountain doesn't have to be. Rather, it needs slopes in the "right"...

If you want to improve your skills and knowledge, where better than with a ski touring pro on a high alpine tour? The Wildspitze, at 3,764 m the highest peak in Tyrol, offers everything that makes a real high-alpine ski tour: flat and steep slopes, glaciers, different slope positions, an exposed summit ridge and, of course, a fantastic summit. Not without...

Ski tours in the Schmirntal are simply fantastic! The Schmirntal is a side valley of the Brenner Pass and is "only" separated from the well-known Zillertal by a few peaks such as Kaserer or Olperer. Never heard of it? That's what insider tips are all about. Instead, fantastic ski tours await you through sparse high forests, free powder slopes and to lonely touring peaks. The choice of tours would be enough for a whole...

Snowshoes on your feet open up completely new perspectives and impressions in the snow-covered mountains. Snowshoes are an original and natural means of transportation in the winter mountains. You don't need any previous experience to use them, as the pace and movement are the same as for "normal" mountain hiking. 

Freeriding in the Dolomites and then also as a traverse? That sounds presumptuous. But thanks to the lifts and cable cars of Dolomiti Superski, this is one of the best high alpine ski crossings in the Alps. The ascents are surprisingly short and the descents long and exciting. You start with your guide directly at the foot of the Dolomite Matterhorn, the...

Fancy a freeride transalp? What a plan! We don't want to bring up Hannibal again, but crossing the Alps is and remains something very special. Especially on skis and when the ascents are limited. There are a maximum of 2 hours of ascent per day, but the descents are definitely worth it. Immediately...

Visevnik, Lipanski vrh and Sitna Glava: The ski tour ascents to these 2,000 meter high peaks in the Triglav National Park are as fantastic as they are difficult to pronounce. There is plenty of snow, sparse forests and generous slopes. And that's just the beginning. Because these peaks are more of an introduction to the world of Triglav. They are dominated by...

Safety Days: Risk management on ski and snowshoe tours is essential for assessing the dangers in the high mountains in winter.
