Description

Come along with me on the ultimate ski-tour experience as we journey from St. Gotthard pass to San Bernardino pass over the course of four days.

The Ticino “Haute-Route” is a classic ski tour and if it’s not on your bucket list already, it should be. On this trip, we’ll be skiing for around eight hours every day and covering some of the best snow you’ll find in the Alps and beyond.

Our adventure will begin in Airolo, Switzerland where we’ll brief you on the trip and spend our first night. The next day we’ll hit the slopes and start making our way to the picture-perfect, Lago di Tom. We’ll spend the subsequent days, ascending and descending as we inch closer to our end goal.

In the evenings we’ll sleep in classic mountain huts, high up in the mountains. We’ll carry our food on your backs during the day, then in the evenings, we’ll cook all our own meals.

On the last day, we’ll tackle the Rheinwaldhorn Traverse. At 3,402 meters Rheinwaldhorn is the highest point in Ticino and it’s breathtakingly beautiful. The trip will end from a downhill section from here to Hinterrhein.

To participate in this trip you will need to have ski touring experience, be comfortable skiing at 35-degree inclines, and a good level of fitness (remember we’ll be touring for 8 hours a day and carrying our own food!). However, you don’t have to be a ski-touring expert.

This really is the ultimate alpine adventure. Get in touch today and we can make it happen for you.

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.
