Description

This 6-day Oberland ski touring program will take you through the mountains that lie between the canton of Valais and the canton of Bern, in Switzerland.

You'll discover some amazing mountains in this remote area. And during our route through this extensive massif, you'll find peaks that stand out for their altitude, but also for they have shaped the history of alpinism.

Indeed, mountains like Eiger, Jungfrau, Finsteraarhorn are a big part of European alpine history. These three peaks are among the most prominent in Switzerland and the scenery is truly exceptional!

So we'll meet at the Pyrenees to drive up to Gründ in Switzerland, from where we'll start our adventure. Then, we'll spend the rest of the days skiing through glaciers, mountains and plateaus. One week later, we'll arrive to Blatten after a truly unforgettable experience! You'll go home totally renewed.

Some parts of the route require some technical skills and a very good physical condition. This is why this program is reserved for experienced skiers.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
