Ski touring & Freeriding

Our ski instructors and mountain guides will open the doors for you into a "secret" freeride and ski touring world. Many small side valleys in Kleinwalsertal offer countless undiscovered spots and limitless possibilities for deep snow skiing in Vorarlberg: forest runs for every weather or steep cliffs for adrenaline junkies. The icing on the cake: powder until March. Experience peak happiness - in winter and without long treks or marches. Ski tours make it possible. The big advantage in contrast to the summer: the tour is not only rewarded with a breathtaking view of the snowy peaks of Vorarlberg, but also with a well deserved descent through sparkling powder or buttery spring snow.

safety first!

    suggestions

    • You better ride with a guide

    The guides of the mountain and ski schools are very familiar with the area and its conditions.

    • Always use the right equipment

    An avalanche transceiver and backpack with shovel, probe and a first aid pack must always be with you! Best to complete an avalanche course beforehand.

    Shy animals and rare plants are part of our beautiful nature - also in winter! The green marked areas are so called protected areas, which are reserved for animals and plants. Please respect those areas - nature will thank you.
