Difficulty
Fitness
Good fitness is required for the 800 m ascent, which takes approximately 3.5 hours and is followed by a very long descent.
Technique
Previous touring experience is recommended. Good off-piste skiing or snowboarding skills are essential. You must be able to control your speed and make confident turns in variable, ungroomed snow.
All our ski tours are open to splitboarders. However, a higher technical level is required on a splitboard because transitions, traverses and flat sections are generally more demanding than on touring skis.
