Description

This 6-day ski tour in the Silvretta Alps is perfect for the intermediate ski tourer!

The Silvretta Alps are a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps, located at the border between Austria and Switzerland. The majority of the peaks one can find here are 3,000 meters above the sea and they are surrounded by glaciers.

In this winter paradise we will be climbing the different peaks we find along the way. The Piz Champatsch located at 2777 meters above the sea or the Piz Filana at 3281 meters, just to name a few.

I will be happy to safely guide you around this area and allow you to discover these fantastic spots. This 6-day trip is the perfect introduction to ski touring in the Alps and depending on your skills and confidence, we will be able to climb as many peaks as you want.

Every evening, we will rest at the different small huts we will find along the way and it will be here that we will get to enjoy Austrian hospitality.

After a long day of ski, nothing better than some delicious fried potatoes with onions and sausage ("Greachtel") together with a drink of a Williamin Shnaps. And don't forget the famous Apfelstrudel with Vanilla sauce!

You will find a more detailed itinerary below!

Although this ski tour is not as demanding as other ski programs in the Alps, it is mandatory for all participants to be skilled skiers (PSIA level 8) and have an excellent fitness level.

I also offer several other ski touring programs. If you wish to do another ski tour in Switzerland, you can also join me on this 8-day Central Switzerland ski tour or if you are looking for a more demanding expedition, check out my 7-day Berner Oberland ski tour (advanced).

So if you are ready for this 6-day Silvretta ski tour, request to book this trip!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
