Disentis | Ski mountaineering and couloir skiing in hotel

• Content and procedure

  • Meeting place

    approx. 9.15 a.m. Disentis valley station

    We meet at the valley station after the public transport arrives. We get to know each other and clarify organisational matters.

  • Day 1

    We gain our first few metres of altitude on the cable cars and take the opportunity to gather some initial information about the current conditions and the terrain. Together, we discuss the day’s planned route and then set off.

    After the tour, we’ll check into the hotel and look forward to a well-deserved dinner.

  • Day 2 - 3

    We organise varied tours starting from the ski resort. You can expect ascents of between 800 and 1,200 metres in altitude, sometimes combined with short sections where you’ll need to carry your skis or technical terrain, followed by couloir descents, depending on conditions. The striking Oberalpstock beckons with several impressive couloirs and is a real highlight for experienced ski mountaineers seeking steep, alpine lines. But the surrounding areas around Disentis also offer exciting alternatives and provide us with a variety of interesting descent options, naturally off the beaten track.
