This is an action packed Swiss Alps long weekend designed to give you an inspiring ski experience in the magical West Oberland and explore the boundary of where ‘ski touring’ meets ‘ski mountaineering’. We run 5 separate weekends in January, February, March & April and this last touring weekend provides both a culmination of this winter series and wonderful springboard towards our spring high altitude ski mountaineering programmes.After a 2 hour drive from Chamonix there is rapid access via the Leukerbad Telecabine to Gemmi Pass from where we immediately enter this middle mountain ski touring sanctuary and are able to enjoy the fine ski summit tours and comfortable base camp to the full! The course starts with an informal meeting and welcome drink on the Friday evening plus equipment check before the very early start on Saturday morning…
