ABOUT THE TOUR
A long ski touring weekend for everyone who prefers winter in the mountains to be real rather than comfortable.
3 days
Ski tour: long weekend – for adventurers: A very special ski touring weekend aimed at everyone who likes things a little more rustic. We forgo the comfort of a hotel with a wellness area and stay instead in winter rooms and bivouacs. That is exactly what makes it so appealing.
It is all about the genuine experience of winter in the mountains: being out there under your own steam, carrying everything we need in our rucksacks, simple evenings, crisp air, and that special atmosphere you only find far above the valley. No big extras, just a weekend that stays close to the essence – on skis, in a wintry setting, and with a good dose of adventure. If that is exactly what you are looking for, this is the right place.

PROGRAM
Day 1: Ascent to the accommodation
The area we choose for this long adventurous weekend on skis will determine the place and time where we meet. We arrange that individually at the time of booking. At the starting point of our long ski touring weekend, we first do a thorough gear check. Since we will be travelling independently, we will be carrying plenty of equipment, and the rucksacks will be correspondingly heavy. Anything unnecessary will be sorted out and left in the car.
Then we are ready to set off and make our way to our accommodation – either a winter room or a bivouac, where we will be self-catering. Depending on our energy reserves and the remaining daylight, there may still be the option of adding a summit with a light pack. In the evening, we treat ourselves to dinner cooked on the gas stove.
▲ Winter room or bivouac
Day 2: Summit objectives from the base
There is no breakfast buffet today. We will have to make do with what we carried up. But it will give us the energy we need for the day ahead. From our cosy accommodation, we set out with light packs towards fine summit objectives. Our high starting point will probably mean we do not have to be content with just one summit. Back at the bivouac or winter room, we round off the day once again with a tasty portion of pouch dinner.
▲ Bivouac or winter room
Day 3: Tour and descent
Melting water, making coffee, preparing breakfast – once again the day begins with plenty to do, but also real and intense, in the first glow of the warming sunrays just after daybreak. Time passes before we are ready again for a new ski tour.
Depending on the possibilities, we may climb another summit with light packs before collecting our things and returning to civilisation. Or we take everything with us straight away and move a little more heavily and steadily instead. Back in the valley at the end of the day, we are richer in experiences and impressions – a weekend you will look back on often and fondly.
Any changes to the program that may be necessary for various reasons (weather, conditions, accommodation booking situation, etc.) will always be made in consultation with the participants.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - (FAQs)
Where do we stay on this ski touring weekend?
Depending on the area, we stay either in a winter room or a bivouac. That is exactly what gives this weekend its character: simple, rustic, and close to winter mountain life.
How fit and experienced should I be for the weekend?
You should have enough stamina for longer ski tours with a rucksack and enjoy simple conditions. Since the area and objectives are tailored individually, we will look together at the time of booking to see whether the weekend is a good match for your experience and fitness.
What equipment do I need to bring?
You will receive the exact packing list with the confirmation email. Important items are, of course, your ski touring equipment and a suitable rucksack; any missing equipment can be hired from Südtirolalpin for a small wear-and-tear fee.
