New Trips on our website!

By February 14, 2019Uncategorized

We keep having ideas for new trips we like to offer our guests so here is a summary of the ones we added to our website the last few months!

Silvretta Ski Traverse

Here is what the Silvretta has going for itself: Lifts out of the Austrian village of Ischgl bring us quickly to the edge of the backcountry. Straightforward travel with light packs takes us up and across passes and to the tops of relatively easy ski mountaineering summits over 3,000 m. Moderate ski descents, normally with great snow, are extra-enjoyable because of the terrific scenery and lastly the backcountry huts are more like luxurious mountain lodges – some of the best in the Alps featuring excellent Austrian cuisine, beer on tap, sunny terraces, showers, comfortable beds, and even a climbing wall and ice tower!

 

Northern Dolomites Ski Traverse

Northern Italy’s Dolomites have UNESCO World Heritage Site status for good reason – it is simply one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes on the planet. Because of its excellent snow and terrain, the Dolomites are home to one of the largest collections of downhill ski areas in Europe. But it is a big mountain range, and one need not travel far to get off the beaten path and into the backcountry. Amongst the famous, stunning dolomitic rock towers and pinnacles are ski-able summits, steep couloirs, glades, and mellow alpine terrain.

   

 

Spitsbergen / Svalbard Ski and Sail

This is a truly exploratory ski touring expedition in the rugged mountains of Spitsbergen, the only (barely) populated Island in the Svalbard Island group of about 60 islands in the Arctic Ocean north of Norway at a Latitude of 79º. Few spots in this world are as remote and wild as Spitsbergen, not to mention all the wildlife and glaciated peaks that offer world class skiing.
