4-day traverse in the Silvretta Alps
Etienne is a great guide with plenty of mountain knowledge and experience. He expertly guided the 4 of us across the Silvretta Alps, through conditions both white-out and blue sky, starting at Ischgl and staying in mountain huts in Austria and Switzerland. His passion for the mountains is evident and we felt very safe in his risk adverse hands. Etienne speaks perfect English and has a good sense of humour, which made for good company at the card table in the evenings. I would recommend him to anyone and look forward to touring again with him next year. Andy

4-day traverse in the Silvretta Alps
Renato was a fantastic guide and very professional. He was well prepared and very experienced. We got unlucky and got stuck in some very bad weather one day and he did an amazing job of leading our group out of a bad situation. The Silvretta traverse was a great trip - beautiful mountains and very nice huts to spend the nights. I would definitely recommend both Renato and this tour!

4-day traverse in the Silvretta Alps
Our group of six have just returned from a magical four day tour of the Silvretta Traverse. The sun shone, the snow was superb and all the while Renato led us with a mixture humour, patient consideration and under-stated authority. He taught us the key skills of ski touring, including vital avalanche training and other mountaineering craft. Renato was excellent company throughout and I could not recommend him more highly. A true gent of the mountains.
Extensive off-piste slopes with initial great lift access, flurries of snow that blanket the peaks, while the sun floods the mountains. Skiing the wild slopes of Ischgl offers premier skiing opportunities that will capture your adventurous spirit. Set among the Tyrolean Alps in the valley of Paznaun, discover the picture-perfect slopes of Austria.

What’s the weather like?
The area receives a cold and temperate climate, with the average temperature reaching 5 degrees Celsius
The Austrian town of Ischgl sits high at 2,872 meters in the Paznaun Valley in the state of Tyrol in the Tyrolean Alps. It is a ski resort that shares the slopes with the neighboring Samnaun resort across the border in Switzerland. Its beginning and end of ski season are punctuated with pop stardom with concerts marking the season. It holds extensive backcountry terrain and excellent lift access
Renato is a fantastic, knowledgable, entertaining guide. He navigated through the worst white out I have ever experienced with bat-like senses, managed the differing levels of fitness in our group with humour and a deft touch, and was a great companion at dinner. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him for any tour or guided skiing experience.
