Try Ski Touring with an instructor

With ski skins and touring equipment we make our way up the mountain in beautiful spring sunlight. The snow is just about to melt into perfect condition. At the summit we rip the skins off and have a great ski run down again. Come join us on this ski touring introduction course.

Ski Touring Course for Beginners

For those of you who have never tried to go on a ski touring trip, or if you want a good repetition, this is the perfect one-day course. You will learn about how the equipment works, how to easily get up on the mountain and what to think about when you are out on the mountain.

This course is great if you do not really know if ski touring is something you want to start with – we make sure that you get a fun start and together we prove that it is not as difficult as it may sound. It is probably the best type of skiing to be done and can be done almost anywhere. Be prepared for a day filled to the brim of new impressions, tips and techniques to make you more confident when ski touring

Preliminary program

Day 1

We start the day by checking the level of the participants and then going through some equipment and planning. We look at what avalanche equipment is and how it works. The day is then filled with easier tasks and a slightly lower pace to maintain good energy levels. We usually eat lunch outdoors but sometimes there is also the opportunity to seek some protection.

After the day, we hope that you feel that you have a good insight into what ski touring is and you know what to do to continue with ski touring.
