    11:00 a.m. Grimentz

    We meet in the morning directly in Grimentz. Individual arrival is possible both by car and by public transport - either on the same day or relaxed the day before. If private cars are available on site, this increases our flexibility: depending on the weather, snow conditions and wishes of the group, we can choose the best tour combinations and get the most out of our ski touring days.

  • Day 1 - First ski tour and getting to know each other

    After arriving in Grimentz, we strap on our skins and set off directly on our first ski tour together. Depending on the weather and conditions, we choose a suitable half-day tour - ideal for familiarising ourselves with the terrain and bonding as a group. Back in the valley, we check into the hotel together, relax at the end of the day and get in the mood for the upcoming tour experiences over a delicious dinner.

  • Day 2 - Day 4

    800 - 1000 metres altitude

    Over the next few days, we will be inspired by the snow, the weather and the mood of the group. Together, we select the tours that best suit the conditions and the group from a variety of rewarding tours and enjoy intense experiences in an impressive mountain landscape.

    Possible tour ideas are:

    • Bella Tola - Illhorn (3025 m / 2716 m): This tour is particularly rewarding with around 450 metres of ascent and over 1700 metres of descent! It impresses with a magnificent view over the Val d'Anniviers.
    • Pointes de Nava (2768 m) - A beautifully shaped ski summit high above the Val d'Anniviers with an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding touring mountains.
    • Turtmannspitze (3097 m) - An impressive tour with a brilliant descent. 2000 metres of altitude lead down to Oberems. A real highlight of the week.
    • Diablon (3053 m) - A marvellous round tour from Grimentz over a panoramic summit and back through the quiet Val de Moiry.
    • Bec de Bosson (3148 m) - A striking summit with sweeping views. The varied descent to Vercorin is particularly enjoyable.
  • Conclusion - return journey
