Grimmialp - Diemtigtal
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 take time to answer your questions and cater to your individual needs.
We spend the night in the Kurhaus on the Grimmialp and can go directly from there to the ski touring area. The area is easily accessible and is ideal for getting to know ski touring. We start our tours from the front door. The ski lifts in the area can also make access easier for us. 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
We meet on the Grimmialp on Saturday morning. The resort is easy to reach by car and public transport. We deposit our luggage for the weekend at the hotel and start our first day of the course together.
The Grimmialp is beautifully situated at the very back of the valley. From the hotel, we can go on our first leisurely ski tour together. We take time to look at and discuss everything we need for a successful start to ski touring.
