Central Switzerland Eastern Switzerland Bern region
Surrounded by gentle slopes and impressive peaks, we experience varied tours with rewarding ascents, beautiful descents and fine powder snow. Together we make our tracks through varied terrain and enjoy the tranquillity and vastness of winter.
Away from the well-known routes, we discover quiet crossings and less travelled variants - exactly where ski touring is particularly enjoyable. Look forward to relaxed mountain experiences, beautiful descents and a good time in a motivated group with lots of enthusiasm for winter!
