Skitouring with a Mountain Guide

Skitouring with an IFMGA Mountain Guide

Winter is the perfect time to experience the mountains from a completely different perspective.

The best skitouring objectives which I can propose are:

• High Tatras Ski Traverse
• The legendary Haute Route (Chamonix – Zermatt)
• Silvretta Traverse
• Ötztal Alps Traverse and Wildspitze
• Albula Alps Traverse (Graubünden Haute Route)
• Urner Alps Traverse
• Mont Blanc on skis

I also offer shorter ski touring trips in the Tatras, suitable for both beginners and advanced skiers, such as:

• Trzydniowiański Wierch and Rakoń on skis
• Descents from Zawrat, Czerwona Ławka, Rohatka
• Baranie Rogi on skis

and many, many more.
