Disentis

We take you into the fascinating world of ski mountaineering - off the beaten track, into the heart of the quiet expanse of winter mountain landscapes. Together we will discover little-used routes, experience the tranquillity of untouched valleys and feel the power of the mountains beyond the hustle and bustle. During these three intensive days, you can expect exciting ascents to remote peaks, enjoyable descents through powder snow and valuable information on technique, tactics and safety in alpine terrain. We will accompany you with experience, enjoyment and a feel for special lines. Thanks to small groups, we can cater to your individual needs and offer you a real mountain adventure - intensive, personal and enjoyable.

    • Day 1

      We take the Disentis cable car to the ski area and set off on our first tour together. After the tour, we check into the hotel and look forward to a well-earned dinner.

    • Day 2 - Day 4

      We undertake varied tours from the ski area. You can expect ascents of between 800 and 1000 metres in altitude, sometimes combined with short stretches or technical terrain, followed by couloir descents, depending on the conditions. The striking Oberalpstock offers several impressive couloirs and is a real highlight for experienced ski mountaineers in search of steep, alpine lines. But the surrounding areas around Disentis also offer exciting variants and provide us with a variety of interesting downhill options, off the beaten track of course.
