Description

Join me for this challenging but rewarding 5-day ski touring expedition as we move from hut to hut through the remote wilderness of the Canadian Rockies.

We begin our adventure from Bow Lake where we begin skiing uphill into the mountains. After five hours, we will arrive at our first mountain hut and decide how we want to spend the next day.

There are plenty of mountains all around this region and we may chose any one of them to ascend. The views from all of them are absolutely spectacular and the treks to the top will be met with stunning vistas of pristine snow and mountains.

We will then continue on our route, going from hut to hut until we reach the highway. Plenty of time is built in to our itinerary to allow for diversions, climbing peaks and making great runs through untouched, perfect powder.

At the end of each day we will stay in a different mountain hut. They are quite basic and small, but cozy. Due to the size, they will keep us warm despite the lack of a wood stove.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this tough but enjoyable 5-day hut-to-hut ski touring adventure along the Wapte Traverse through the wild Canadian Rockies!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my 1+ day of ski touring Roger’s Pass in British Columbia!

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

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
