Have you already gained independent experience on high-altitude ski tours, but would like to improve your technique and skills? In our coaching sessions, we accompany you on selected tours and cater to your individual needs: more efficient hairpin turns, clean rope handling, crevasse rescue training, safe descents in steep terrain or tour planning in complex situations. Depending on your level, we will pick you up and help you take the next step - for even more safety and enjoyment on independent high-altitude ski tours and haute routes. You can take part in this course alone or as a rope team of 2. The advantage of a rope team of 2 is that you can practise together as a team for independent tours.
Target price: After the coaching, you will be able to confidently and safely plan and organise your own ski tours - even in challenging terrain.
Procedure and meeting place
In these four-day ski touring coaching days, you will learn how to deepen your knowledge in alpine terrain. Together with a mountain guide, we repeat important techniques, practise rope handling and apply what you have learnt directly on varied tours. Step by step, you will take on more responsibility for planning and carrying out your own tours, gaining confidence and routine for your own challenging alpine ski tours.
We meet at the valley station of the Corvatsch mountain railway.
On the first day, we take the mountain railway up to Corvatsch. From there we start directly into our training days. We first ski down the piste and then across open terrain to Chamanna Coaz. The transition to the Vadret dal Murtèl provides us with a variety of practice terrain. Once we arrive at the hut, we set up camp for the next day, have dinner together and discuss the day ahead.
The area around the Chamanna Coaz offers us a high alpine practice area. We climb over glaciers and crevasse zones towards the summit and use peaks with rocky final sections as training terrain. For our practice tours, we move around the Vadret dal Chapütschin and Vadret da Roseg glaciers. Possible summits are: Il Chapütschin, La Muongia, Dschimels. Our home base for the next few days remains the Chamanna Coaz.
Conditions permitting, we have a treat in store for the last day. We climb from the Chamanna Coaz in the direction of I Gemelli/Dschimels and descend via the impressive Vadret de la Sella with its many crevasses to the railway station in Val Roseg.
Our training days end in Val Roseg with many new experiences and learning moments. We travel together to Pontresina, where we say goodbye and start our individual journey home.
