This 6-day Valais ski touring trip will take you to so many 4000 m peaks that it will be hard to believe!
In Europe, the Swiss canton of Valais is a synonym of high mountains. Plus, it is one of the wettest regions of Switzerland, so there is always lots of snow. Due to these two factors, you'll find some of the highest and most perfect ski routes in the Alps here in Valais.
Indeed, I offer you to go on a journey from Saas Fee to Zermatt. During our ski trip, we'll ascend some of the Alps' most famous mountains, including Signalkuppe peak (4554 m) or Dufourspitze peak (4634 m). Also we'll go through glaciers and you'll be able to choose some of the peaks we'll summit!
A special feature of this adventure is that we'll sleep in amazing mountain huts. We'll visit the Margherita mountain hut, which, at 4554 metres above sea level, is the highest building in Europe!
So please let me know if you’re interested in this 6-day Valais ski touring trip. And please specify all your requests so I can make the proper arrangements!
And if you'd like to check out some of my other programs, please take a look at my 6-day ski touring program in the Silvretta Alps or my 6-day ski touring trip around Piz Bernina.

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
