Ski touring course Wildspitze, 3,764m
Ski tour to Tyrol's highest peak
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. It is not without reason that it is number 2 in the bergwelten ranking of "epic ski tours".
On the tour and in the perfect training area on the Piztal Glacier, your mountain and ski guide will show you how to make perfect tracks, tricks and tips on the hairpin and kick turns as well as many basics on risk management and orientation and how to climb easy glaciers.
For skiing training we prefer a base in the Piztal. Here we are maximally flexible for the right weather window and the best possible conditions.
The goal of the course is, after intensive training, the independent execution of easy and medium-difficulty high-altitude ski tours with glacier climbing, including the associated risk management.

The provisional tour program may be adjusted for safety-related reasons, such as bad weather, dangerous conditions, unforeseen natural events or inadequate conditions of the participants. The final program will be decided by the guide on site.

"Learning by doing with the ski touring pros. In small groups and then still at Tyrol's highest peak! If you want to go ski touring independently, then this is exactly the right course for you. You will benefit from the wealth of experience and skills of your guide and on this basis you will be well prepared for your personal touring goals."
