Ski touring training week with a mountain guide | Sedrun

• Procedure and course content

  • Meeting place

    10:20 am Sedrun

    We meet at the railway station in Sedrun. We deposit our luggage and immediately set off on a leisurely ski tour before moving into the hotel.

  • Day 1: First ski tour

    600 Hm

    1100 metres altitude

    L

    We start with the Tgom cable car and head straight into the snow. First we refresh our knowledge of ski touring techniques and equipment before setting off on a leisurely ski tour. Thanks to the cable cars, we can round off the day with an enjoyable descent.

  • Day 2 - 5: Apply and learn on ski tours

    800 - 1000 metres altitude

    WS

    The evening before, we plan the tour for the next day together. We take into account the weather and conditions in order to select the right terrain and the ideal route.
    You will learn step by step how to plan tours professionally and apply this knowledge directly on the tour. On each tour, we add another piece of the puzzle so that you continuously refine your knowledge and skills.
    Thanks to the excellent railway and cable car connections, we benefit from the diversity of the ski touring paradise around Sedrun. This means we can undertake tours that start from the Oberalp Pass via the Piz Máler to the Lukmanier Pass or from the cable cars in Disentis.
