Ski/splitboard tour for beginners
Want to get off the slopes and into the backcountry? You’ve come to the right place! This rookie session is for anyone who wants to get into ski or splitboard touring. We will teach you everything you need to know about touring. From the correct ascent to avalanche awareness, we will give you all the basics to get you started in this sport. We are also the right place for you if you have already completed your first tours but don’t feel ready to set off without a mountain guide.
The tour is designed to be beginner-friendly, which means that we will make a maximum ascent of 600m, starting from Grindelwald First or Habkern. We will decide on the exact starting point and route depending on the conditions.
