Description
Famous for its skiing, central Switzerland is a haven for skiers the world over. As plentiful as they are stunning and exciting, the slopes throughout the country are spectacular. And on this 2 day trip, I would like to guide you for some great ski touring. However, this trip is not just about enjoying the slopes, it is also about understanding them.
Education is a big part of this adventure. My hope is that by the end of the second day, you will have improved your existing skills, as well as learned some new ones. Moreover, the skills you will learn on this trip will be immediately put into practice on the slopes of central Switzerland.
Throughout the two days, you will learn how to plan and carry out ski tours independently. You will also learn about individual slope assessment and optimal route planning. Furthermore, I will also spend time teaching you about avalanche awareness and safety.
Our exact location will be decided upon a few days prior to the commencement of the trip. That is because I want to pick the best possible spot, and weather and snow conditions in the Alps often change quickly. However, you can rest assured that no matter which spot we visit, you will get to enjoy some of the best slopes in central Switzerland.
In order to participate on this trip, you should have some previous ski touring experience. You should also be in good physical condition.
Are you interested in ice climbing? If so, I can also take you on a full day ice climbing trip in Engelberg, which is also in the Swiss Alps.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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!

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.

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.
