Maximum comfort in hotels and huts, maximum safety, maximum view, maximum powder snow, maximum après ski, minimum packs: the recipe for an unforgettable experience in the European Alps. This is a customized, moderate to extreme steep skiing adventure. We help you have a great time whether you are a moderate or extreme skier. Everyday we adjust the skiing and hiking to your daily form. Participants must be strong skiers, PSIA level 8-9, able to perform strong dynamic parallel turns with alpine skis, telemark skis or randonne equipment, while carrying a small pack in all snow conditions: powder, hard packed and crud snow. I strongly recommend alpine skis or randonne equipment for a trip in Europe. My past experience tells me that even an expert telemark skier will struggle and have a hard time skiing with a backpack and deal with the always-changing snow conditions. Telelmark skiers are naturally welcome, but we will merely have to adjust to his or her pace. You should be able to master steep uphill skiing techniques, have experience with ski crampons as well as Euro-uphill kick turn in all conditions. This will help you enjoy the tour better. Bring only gear you are used to: broken-in ski randonne boots, the correct full skins, and used gear you know by heart. If you have any concerns about your level of skiing and/or mountaineering skills, please feel free to contact Swiss Guides. All of the above skills have to be solid and will be applied on the trip.
