Climb & freeride
High-alpine ascent
Climb approximately 750 m in three hours to reach the Alphubeljoch and the start of the long descent.
Variable snow
Strong off-piste technique is essential because conditions can range from deep powder to wind crust and heavy snow.
2000 m descent
Enjoy approximately two hours of varied freeride terrain all the way down to Saas-Fee.
Difficulty
Fitness
Good fitness is required for the 750 m ascent, which takes approximately three hours and is followed by a 2000 m descent.
Technique
Previous touring experience is recommended. You must be confident skiing or snowboarding in deep snow, wind crust, heavy snow, and other challenging off-piste conditions.
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.
