Lesachtal is a dream come true for ski tourers. Amazing snow-covered slopes, dreamy forests, and alpine pastures make it a beautiful winter wonderland. This weekday program starts on a Sunday and ends on a Thursday. It’s a great chance to acquire new ski touring skills and to discover the outstanding Lesachtal valley.

The program is as follows: On the day we arrive, we will have a meet and greet at our accommodation. Then on day 2, we will warm up with some technique and equipment review. Days 3 and 4 will be amazing ski touring days where we will put new skills to practice and debrief in the evenings. Finally, on day 4, we will depart. You can find a detailed itinerary below.

Delicious cuisine, including Lesachtal bread for breakfast and typical local dinners, as well as a glass of wine in the evenings, are also part of the experience. The place we will stay in is lovely and also has a sauna to relax and recover in. You will be comfortable and warm at the end of each day.
Regarding the level, you will need to be physically fit and have some prior ski experience. We will show you the rest.

About the guide

Mountain Guide
I’m a IFMGA certified mountain guide and a nature lover. I was born in 1983 and I studied Cultural and social anthropology at the Vienna University.
Mountains, water, cultures have been always my passion. That’s why I’m a mountain, ski, canyoning and rafting guide, also a ski instructor and a snowboard enthusiast.
Helene and myself are the owners of the Hepi lodge. A space for mountaineers, climbers, skiing enthusiasts where besides offering the accommodation service we proposed varied programmes of different activities: rock climbing, ski touring, canyoning, hiking tours.
I guide most of my time in Lesachtal Valley: St Lorenzen, St Jakob, Birnbaum, Karnische Alps and Lienz Dolomites.
I love guiding people from all around the world and help them discover my region and its beauties doing what they like most! Feel free to contact me to discuss about your expectations and what I can offer you. We will share a great time together!

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.
