Description

Situated just north of Squamish, the Tantalus Range is the perfect place for a hut-based ski mountaineering adventure!

The trip starts with a quick helicopter flight from a pre-determined location in Squamish out to the Jim Haberl Hut, on the edge of the Tantalus Provincial Park.

Once we’ve arrived, the fun begins. Over the course of our four days together, we will head out on various ski mountaineering expeditions, exploring parts of the British Columbian backcountry that you would not be able to get to on skis alone.

In order to take full advantage of all the excellent ski touring that awaits here, it is best to be an intermediate level backcountry skier with previous mountaineering experience.

Among the various peaks that we might climb and explore are Alpha Mountain, Serratus Mountain, Red Tusk, Lydia Mountain and Mt Tanatalus. Each of these peaks will provide stunning views out over the backcountry as well as plenty of out-of-this-world skiing opportunities.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 4-day ski mountaineering experience from the Jim Haberl Hut in the exquisitely beautiful Tantalus Range!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you may also enjoy my 7-day ski touring trip on Manatee Glacier, also in the Coast Range!

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.
