Description

This 6-day Ski traverse in the Silvretta Alps is the most traditional ski route in the Austrian Alps.

Because of its perfect weather, amazing slopes and easy to cross mountain passes, the Silvretta Alps have become a mecca for off piste skiers. But the most distinctive characteristic of this area is the amazing mountain huts all over the route.

With all the comfort you could imagine (and more), these are cozy shelters situated in wonderful places. So you'll be skiing through Austria's best slopes and sleeping comfortably in the middle of the mountains. Pretty close to paradise!

For 6 days we'll immerse ourselves in the mountains, enjoying long ski runs and unique scenery. Also, we'll be skiing an average of 4.5 hours a day, so you'll have extra time to take pictures and enjoy the nature. Plus, our ascents won't be too hard, so you'll better enjoy the descents!

So please contact me and specify the number of people in your group or any other special requests. I'll make the arrangements for this 6-day Ski traverse in the Silvretta Alps to be an amazing adventure. 

You can also check out these other ski tours I propose in other European skiing hotspots: 5-day Carros de Foc or 6-day Chamonix-Zermatt.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

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.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
