Description
Right between the superb Daubenhorn mountain (2942 m) and the magnificent Rinderhorn peak (3448 m), there is a paradise for ski touring enthusiasts. The Gemmi Pass, part of the Bernese Alps, offers incredible panoramas and is an ideal place for beginners in this discipline.
That is why I created this program, perfect for those with an enthusiasm for ski touring. The slopes are suitable for every level and taste. The plan is to meet in Leukerbad, Switzerland, and take the cable car to our accommodation in the Gemmi Pass. We could stay at Hotel Gemmi or hike for 1 ½ hours to the Lämmernhut. The following days, we will not do anything else besides ski touring. The distant views of the Dom, the Matterhorn and the Weisshorn make it even more impressive and worth trying.
If you need a rest, we can easily go to Leukerbad to relax for a day in its thermal spa resort (the largest in the Alps!).
Booking this trip is your chance to practice a new skill and discover an incredible part of the Alps.
If you already have experience or want a different challenge, check out this ski touring trip from west to east of the Alps.

What people are saying about ES Adventure Guides
Peter
This was a great trip and Explore Share made finding the right trip super easy. Our guide was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and experienced and willing to teach us the skills we would have needed to climb the Matterhorn. Unfortunatly, the conditions were not right to climb so our guide recemmended another trip which was still a great experience and lots of fun.
Emma
Very user friendly platform with timely responses from Explore Share representatives. The trip itself with Tom from Alps Adventures was awesome and ensure that we had an experience that was 100% what we wanted. Recommend both the platform and the guide. Thanks to all for arranging and delivering so well.

I had am amazing time during the 1-day off-piste training course at Hoch-Ybrig. Urs, our main mountain guide, was very helpful in answering my queries before the course, and Lupe from explore-share was helpful in selecting the course. We had 3 groups under Urs, Mario and Patrick, and I was in the group with Patrick. He gave us a lot of nice tips and individualized video analysis. He made a special effort to convey everything in English, since I don't know German. All the participants were very helpful and friendly too! The course is good value for money as skis are included for the weekend in the course price.
