Description

Looking for a ski touring adventure where you can challenge yourself? Then you can’t miss this chance to test the smooth Swiss slopes. Come with me on this 1-day program near Zurich and have a wonderful time skiing.

Rather than following a fixed itinerary, we'll select the most suitable route based on current snow conditions, avalanche risk, and the group's experience. Possible destinations include Davos, Rätikon, Glarnerland, Andermatt-Disentis, and Bedretto.

This trip is designed for intermediate skiers with previous ski touring experience and good physical fitness. You should be comfortable skiing off-piste in variable snow conditions and prepared for approximately 800–1,200 meters of ascent.

The day begins with an equipment check and a briefing on snow and avalanche conditions. From there, you'll head into the mountains for a rewarding ski tour, typically involving two to four hours of uphill travel, with the possibility of multiple ascents and descents.

Along the way, your guide will offer practical tips to improve your uphill technique, transitions, and skiing skills. The pace, breaks, and itinerary will be adapted to the group's abilities and mountain conditions.

Ready to explore the Swiss Alps beyond the ski resorts? Join us for a guided ski touring adventure from Zurich and make the most of the day's conditions!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
