Ski touring taster weekend Graubünden | St. Antönien in a hotel with mountain guide
We take you into the world of ski touring. You'll get a taste of this wonderful sport and we'll accompany you professionally on your first ski touring experiences.
Together we go on easy ski tours at a leisurely pace, where you can learn the basics of ski touring in peace and gain valuable experience. We will show you our approach to ski touring: with short, pleasant ascents, plenty of breaks and relaxed descents in powder snow. You will learn how to ascend efficiently with skins, what is important when choosing tracks and get practical tips for safe and enjoyable skiing in deep snow. We will take time to answer your questions and cater to your individual needs. We spend the night in a charming hotel right in the ski touring area. We set off from the front door on tours that are ideal for beginners. Thanks to the small ski lifts in the region, you can also choose variants that shorten the ascent and thus increase the downhill fun. Splitboarders are also welcome on our course.
Tip: Benefit from discounted rental equipment at Ski Rental Züri or in the Sport Trend Shop Hinwil.
Course content and procedure
This 2-day ski touring course takes place in St. Antönien. We spend the night in the cosy Gemsli mountain inn. There we enjoy rooms with breakfast and dinner.
We meet in the morning at the car park in St. Antönien. Here we deposit our things for the hotel and immediately start familiarising ourselves with the ski touring equipment.
St. Anönien is at a high altitude and is already snow-sure at this time of year. From the car park, we can go on our first, leisurely ski tour together. We take our time to look at everything and discuss what we need for a successful start to ski touring. As always, we are out and about with our eyes wide open, looking for the best snow and looking forward to a beautiful descent. In the evening we enjoy a get-together in the cosy parlour and look forward to another ski tour!
