Beginner Ski Tour Introduction course

General overview

Did you know that our region is ideal for ski touring and splitboard beginner courses? We can offer a wide range of tours that ensure the five “Golden Rules” for a successful introductory course: sunny location, dream views, snow-sure, avalanche-protected, awesome descent!

Introduction course – Your insight into the world of hairpin turns and powder snow

Stotzigen Firsten, Winterhorn, Schafberg or perhaps a ski tour in the Riemenstaldnertal? Uri and the neighboring cantons offer many possibilities for first-class beginner courses. We offer our beginner tours according to the five “Golden Rules” for a successful day on the mountain: sunny location, dream view, snow-safe, avalanche-protected, awesome descent!

What awaits you at one of our beginner courses? First, a basic introduction to the material and the ascent technique, because first of all you have to reach the summit. Then a practical tour with an exciting ascent that will reward you with beautiful views. Finally, a descent in deep snow with addictive potential, because there is nothing better than drawing your own tracks in deep snow!

Splitboarders are welcome, as the tour does not include steep traverses.

Itinerary

Morning

Meet & Greet at the meeting point. Equipment check and short introduction to tour planning and ascent techniques. Start of the practical tour, ascending the selected peak at a pace adapted to all participants. When we arrive, we will hold a short feedback session on the ascent: How did we do? How could we have chosen our route more safely? What could have been improved in the skiing technique?

Afternoon

After a warming tea and snack break it’s time to go: Skins off, ski boots tightened, avalanche beacon on “send” and let’s go! It’s time for a breathtaking descent over deep snow-covered slopes. The view over the mountains of Uri is absolutely brilliant: this is what your first ski tour has to look like! End of the adventure around 16:00.
