The Bächlital area is fantastic for alpine tours. The granite mountains offer great rock for scrambling and beautiful glaciers. We spend a rope team coaching session in this area, giving you more knowledge about alpine touring while we go on great practical tours. The tours are varied and offer cool terrain to learn and experience. We will be based at the Bächlitalhütte and enjoy the hospitality of Beni and Esther. Every day, we will go on tours adapted to the conditions and the wishes of the group and learn and benefit from the knowledge and expertise of the mountain guide. You will learn what is important in mountaineering and how to move efficiently and safely on alpine tours.
