In harmony with nature

A guided ski tour offers a combination of safety, professional instruction and enjoyment of nature, which makes it particularly attractive for beginners, but also for advanced skiers who want to develop their skills.

The unique thing about ski touring in the Salzkammergut are the breathtaking views of lakes and mountains, the combination of physical exertion and the peace and quiet away from the ski areas as well as the descents through untouched nature. The landscape offers routes for all skill levels, from easy tours with panoramic views of lakes such as Lake Wolfgang to more challenging destinations in the Dachstein area.

Fantastic views

The region is known for the combination of mountains and lakes. Many peaks offer fantastic panoramic views of lakes such as Lake Hallstatt or Lake Gosau. You can enjoy the silence and untouched nature away from the hustle and bustle of the ski resorts and experience the winter landscape at its own pace.

Claim and reward

The combination of the ascent on foot and the subsequent descent is considered very satisfying. The reward for the effort is the descent through untouched snow. Whether beginner or advanced, there are tours for all levels of difficulty in the Salzkammergut, from easy climbs with little altitude to alpine alpine tours.

Advantage of guided ski tours: Together instead of alone

A guide can provide individual tips and tricks and help to optimize ascent and descent techniques, even in varied terrain. In a small group, you can better enjoy the silence and beauty of untouched nature away from the ski area. The guide allows you to focus on the experience.

Whether for beginners who want to take their first steps or for experienced tourers who are looking for new challenges - guided tours are adapted to the respective level of experience. Ski touring is often more fun in a group because you share the experience and the costs.

Culinary delights

After the ascent, cosy huts invite you to stop for a bite to eat, where you can fortify yourself with hot soups and other delicacies.
