Itinerary
This four-day ski mountaineering trip takes you into the backcountry surrounding Ischgl. Ischgl sits at 1,376m / 4,514' in the Tyrolean Alps, positioned between the Silvretta and Verwall mountain ranges. It's one of the Alps' most renowned ski resorts, known for challenging terrain and high-level winter sports. You'll climb peaks over 3,000m / 9,842', cross glaciers, and sleep in remote mountain huts accessible only by ski. Each day brings new terrain—steep descents, long traverses, and summits with views across three countries. This itinerary is for intermediate to advanced skiers confident on off-piste terrain with ski mountaineering experience. The days are demanding but rewarding. Your UIAGM/IFMGA certified mountain guide will lead, manage safety, and adjust routes based on conditions and your group's ability. Expect long days and early starts, but be warned: experiences like this can be addictive, so proceed with caution! Discover more multi-day adventures on our Tours page.Programma ( 4 )
