From Ascent to Descent: True Backcountry Skiing

Ski touring opens the door to wild, untracked mountains, where you set your own pace and choose your lines. Each day brings the rhythm of the climb, the reward of fresh descents, and the quiet focus of travelling through high alpine terrain.

From comfortable lodges to remote huts and multi-day traverses, the style is yours to choose. With skilled guides leading the way, ski touring offers the purest way to explore the mountains and move through winter landscapes under your own power.

The Best Lines Can’t Be Lifted To

Ski touring takes you far beyond the reach of inbound and off-piste skiing, into the remote mountains of places such as Finnmark and Svalbard. Here, untracked slopes, glaciers and couloirs offer natural lines carved by the terrain itself, far from the crowds. Every ascent is powered entirely by your own effort, and every descent rewards patience and skill with untouched powder and quiet solitude. Spending a week exploring these wild landscapes with a small group allows you to immerse yourself completely in nature and leave the ordinary world behind.

Find Comfort in the Wilderness

Accommodations are simple, yet life on a ski touring trip is welcoming and satisfying. Whether in a mountain lodge, a remote hut, or moving from hut to hut on a multi-day route, you will find warmth, hot meals, and a place to rest between outings. With a small group and attentive guides, the atmosphere becomes relaxed and supportive, allowing you to focus on the goal of the day and the surrounding mountains.
