Description

If you are taking the first steps in the world of ski touring and are planning to come to the Kitzbuheler Alps, this course is just for you!

It’s my pleasure to invite you to this 4-day introductory ski touring course in the Kitzbuheler Alps. I think it is the perfect region to practice this exciting activity thanks to its stunning powder slopes. Furthermore, this region has ski touring and off-piste options for all levels.

During the course we may visit the areas of Ellmau, Fieberbrunn, Steinplatte, Kirchberg and Kitzbühel.

This training program is aimed to take intermediate and expert skiers off the slopes and go into the back country skiing. I will help you choose the best ascents, which can be made either using skis with skins or simply by the ski lifts. And the best part comes when it’s descent time! You will live the amazing feeling of descending through incredible off-piste and powder slopes!

During this 4-day ski touring course, participants will learn:

How to plan a ski tour;
The most important off-piste skiing techniques;
Some ascent techniques;
Snow and avalanche recognition;
How to use the ski touring equipment correctly.

This program is available for snowboarders as well. I can lead a group of 6 participants maximum. All of you must be able to ascend during 3 and 5 hours per day, over technically easy terrain. Some previous ski touring experience is also necessary.

Remember I can adjust the program according to your own wishes and expectations. I can even add more training days if you wish.

Contact me for more information or if you want to book your place for next winter. I’d be happy to teach you all the secrets of ski touring in the amazing Kitzbuheler Alps.

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.

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.
