Zermatt Adventure (off-piste skiing / intro. to touring / backcountry skiing)

What better way to discover the region than 6 days of off-piste tours and glacier descents.

Each day we will make use of the valley’s  extensive lift system, together with touring kit to pack more skiing into our off-piste adventures.

Who’s it for: for skiers with a sense of adventure who want to access the mountains as soon as possible.

A Typical Week

We hope to keep these holidays flexible in order to make the most of the conditions but the plan is as follows:
