Ski mountaineering tours combine the fascination of ski touring with the challenges of the high mountains: glaciers, crampons and rope technology come into play. Have you already done guided high-altitude ski tours and would now like to master such tours on your own without a mountain guide? In this course, we will teach you the key basics. We practise the correct use of crampons and ice axes, learn various roping and safety techniques and practise the most important rope manoeuvres for ski mountaineering tours. This also includes rescue methods such as crevasse rescue. We put what we have learnt directly into practice on tours, from the ascent over deep snow and glaciers to a safe descent.
Target: After this course you will be able to plan and organise ski tours on your own responsibility.
These 4 days of high-altitude ski touring in the Glarus Alps combine training and practice: together we work on the most important basics for safe high-altitude ski touring and put what we have learnt into practice on impressive tours to the surrounding peaks such as Clariden and Schärhorn. Away from everyday life, we gain experience in the high mountains and enjoy the descents over glaciers and firn slopes.
We will meet at Urnerboden. If there are enough vehicles available, we can form car pools from Ziegelbrücke.
From the top station of the Fiseten cable car, we ascend via the Gemsfairenstock to the Claridenhütte. On the way, we practise the basics of handling our equipment and enjoy the view of the vast glacier world.
From the hut, we climb over the Hüfifirn towards Clariden. After the summit, we continue across the impressive glacier landscape to the Planura hut.
Today is the tour to the Schärhorn. During the tour, we can once again put the course content into practice. We return to the Planura hut in the afternoon.
During these four days you will learn:
After this course you will be well prepared to plan and organise easy and medium ski tours independently.
Finally, depending on the conditions, we undertake another high-altitude ski tour and then ski back down to the valley via long glacier slopes.
Bergschaft tours and courses are conducted in German as standard. However, our mountain guides speak good English, as do many of the participants. If you speak English, you are of course very welcome. Depending on the tour, it may be worth asking us in advance whether the guide and the group are comfortable speaking English.
