For experienced Skiers & Snowboarders

This program is designed for very good skiers and boarders with a lot of off-piste experience.

Our experienced and fully qualified guides will show you the best runs in Sölden and on the glacier areas of the Ötztal and Pitztal. If there is any good snow, we know where.

Our days will include skiing and boarding steep couloirs, long runs up to 2000 altitude meters and untracked powder. Belays are waiting for the really adventurous to abseil into otherwise hard to reach lines. An unforgettable experience, guaranteed!
