Silvretta Alps - The classic Austrian ski touring journey with Tania Noakes IFMGA Guide
27 Feb 26 - 6 March 26
The Classic Silvretta Ski Traverse is a justifiably famous journey. The Silvretta mountains of Austria still retain a few small glaciers, so we will need to take crevasse rescue equipment. The terrain has many small cols which are easily accessible on skis and make enjoyable ski descents without being too committing or too steep. There are also some summits which are accessible for those with winter mountaineering experience with ice axe and crampons.
This trip is for ladies who have experience ski-touring on day tours or using manned huts and would like a progressive and supported first multi-day ski journey. We will do some warm up skiing on piste on our first day together before a short tour from the lifts brings us to our first mountain hut.
