Fit on the glacier and on high altitude tours
The goal of the high altitude course is the independent execution of easy high altitude tours with glacier climbing. You will learn and improve specific belaying techniques as well as the necessary crampon and climbing techniques.
Ötztal Alps Crossing
The Ötztal Alps are a high-altitude touring region in a class of its own. The most beautiful and highest three-thousand-meter peaks of the Ötztal can be perfectly combined on technically relatively easy ascents during this touring week. The absolute highlight is the ascent of the highest Tyrolean peak, the 3,774m high Wildspitze.
Wildspitze (3.774 m) high tour course
Learning by doing is the motto of the high altitude course with summit ascent Wildspitze (3.774m). Your professional guide will train you intensively for independent high altitude tours and summit ascents. With high-quality EDELRID test equipment!
The lightest 4000
Breithorn (4,165m), Strahlhorn (4,190m), Allalinhorn (4,027m), Bishorn (4,153m) and Alphubel (4,206m) are considered technically easy four-thousanders. Nevertheless, the normal routes are anything but boring "glacier hikers". The panorama from the individual peaks is simply phenomenal and a fair reward for the efforts.
Four-thousand-metre peaks in the Valais (spaghetti round)
The "Spaghettirunde" with up to 10 four-thousand-meter peaks is one of the most beautiful and popular ridge and four-thousand-meter tours in the Alps. The climbs are technically considered relatively easy, but you should still bring high altitude touring experience and especially a very good condition for up to 10h mountaineering.
Großglockner (3.798 m) high tour course
The Großglockner, the highest peak in Austria, offers everything that makes a real high altitude tour. Before the ascent to the summit, your mountain and ski guide will train with you the basics for easy and medium-difficulty high-altitude tours.
Mont Blanc with preparation
The ascent of the highest mountain in the Alps at 4,807m is not only a special experience, but requires a fair amount of fitness, mastery of crampon technique and perfect tactics to take advantage of a good weather window for the summit day well acclimatized. The three normal routes are also subject to strong changes due to climate change, which we take into account in the tour planning.
