Ski touring – give it a go
Welcome to a fun and educational half-day where, under the safe guidance of a guide, you will climb the mountain with climbing skins and enjoy off-piste skiing.
The guide will teach you the basics, giving you an introduction to get you started and continue developing your skills for summiting on your own. Equipment, walking technique, downhill technique for different snow conditions, tour planning, risk management, etc.
To feel comfortable, you should have skied off-piste before and be able to ski on red groomed slopes.
Summit tour with guide
Häng med vår guide ut på tur för att utforska något av fjällen i norra Dalarna. Vilket område som är aktuellt för dagen avgörs utifrån väder och snöförhållanden och framgår på anslag 1-2 dagar innan turen. Svårighetsgraden är den samma oavsett område.
Under denna heldag njuter vi lika mycket av turandet uppför genom skog och på kalfjäll som när vi tar av stighudarna och svänger utför. Vi tar oss tiden att äta lunch ute, stanna för att titta på saker i naturen. Guiden berättar om sådant vi ser och områdets natur, kultur och historia. Under dagen får du också en stor dos av kunskap som bidrar till din egen utveckling som topptursskidåkare. Lavinrisker, turplanering, navigering, utrustning samt tips som gör dig effektiv och uthållig i bergen.
För att känna dig komfortabel ska du ha testa offpist åkning innan och klara av att åka i röda pistade backar.
