Description

This is a 6-day ski touring trip in the Silvretta Alps, on the border between Switzerland and Austria.

In this territory there are many peaks over 3000 meters, and the highest one is Piz Buin (3312 m).

Most of the glaciers are facing the north, and offer a perfect terrain to be travelled by ski; this exposure usually guarantees good snow conditions.

Actually, Silvretta has a good reputation because of the snow quality and quantity. Most of the time it's easy to find good powder snow. Also, because of the wide of the glacier you can often have the possibility to make your own track.

In all the five valleys of the range, there are nice and confortable mountain huts, giving the possibility to organice interesting ski traverses.

This trip is ideal for those who already have a small experience in ski touring, but want to improve their skills and challenge themselves.

You will need a small experience in skinning, but you have to be already good in skiing of piste in all kind of snow with a relatively heavy back pack.

Every day the vertical ascent is around 1000 meters, so a bit of training is necessary to enjoy the experience.

Our departure point is the small hamlet of Guarda. It is a very typical village from Engadina, placed on a sunny slope and surrounded by grass fields and forests.

You can fin a possible itinerary below. However, we'll design the best program according to the snow and weather conditions.

If you are interested in this ski touring adventure, please get in touch with me. I will be glad to organice this tour based on your wishes and expectations.

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

Joshua

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.
