Enjoy a full day of backcountry ski touring accompanied by one of our fully-certified IFMGA guides. Without having to worry about selecting and planning a tour you can fully enjoy the beauty of our backcountry environment for a day … or even more. The selection of our tour is bound to change as the weather, daylight hours and avalanche conditions evolve during the season. Thus we will choose our destination on a short notice with you.

The cable car of the Stubaier glacier ski resort will take us to the starting point of our tour. After a short initial descend we will skin up and ascend towards the Pfaffenjoch from where we’ll step onto the Sulzenau glacier. Crossing the glacier the view opens up towards the South while we continue to climb towards the peak of the Zuckerhütl. If conditions are right we will leave the skis on the glacier and climb the peak. After a break we can look forward to the long descend down the Sulzenau glacier. A short final ascent will take us back across the ridge from where we ski back down to the parking lot.

Day 1: After taking the cable car of the Stubaier glacier ski resort we will boot track a short ways up. At the Daunscharte we put on our skis in order to enjoy the long descend down to the Amberger Lodge where we will spend the night. Day 2: The day starts with a 3-hour ascend to the Schweizerkogel and Wildgratscharte. After a break we will ski down the Alpeiner glacier which will take us to the Franz-Senn-Lodge. Day 3: On the last day of our ski traverse we will skin up to the Sommerwandspitze which will take us approximately 4 hours. Depending on conditions we will have more than one possiblity for skiing back down to the valley bottom. Anyhow it will be a long way down to the valley and lots of vertical metres to enjoy.
