Ski tours

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

WAY

As soon as you attach climbing skins to your skis you get into this special ski touring mode. Meditative, focused, ready for off-piste terrain. Avalanche transceiver check, gliding step by step, ascending slowly. In the uppermost part of Ötztal you will find ski tours of all difficulty levels up to the “Hautes Routes” of the Eastern Alps. Especially in spring, pristine nature adventures await you away from the groomed ski slopes.
