If you want to improve your skills and knowledge, where better than with a ski touring pro on a high alpine ski tour?
The Wildspitze, the highest peak in Tyrol, offers everything that makes a real high alpine ski tour: flat and steep slopes, glaciers, different hanging 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."
Your mountain and ski guide will show you on tour and in the perfect training area on the Piztaler Glacier the perfect track layout, tricks and tips for pointed and kick turns but also many basics for risk management or orientation as well as for the ascent of easy glaciers.
Base of the ski touring course is the fantastically located Breslauer Hütte at 2801m altitude. Here you will find excellent accommodation with modern camps and excellent catering.
