Description
This 6-day Ski traverse in the Silvretta Alps is the most traditional ski route in the Austrian Alps.
Because of its perfect weather, amazing slopes and easy to cross mountain passes, the Silvretta Alps have become a mecca for off piste skiers. But the most distinctive characteristic of this area is the amazing mountain huts all over the route.
With all the comfort you could imagine (and more), these are cozy shelters situated in wonderful places. So you'll be skiing through Austria's best slopes and sleeping comfortably in the middle of the mountains. Pretty close to paradise!
For 6 days we'll immerse ourselves in the mountains, enjoying long ski runs and unique scenery. Also, we'll be skiing an average of 4.5 hours a day, so you'll have extra time to take pictures and enjoy the nature. Plus, our ascents won't be too hard, so you'll better enjoy the descents!
So please contact me and specify the number of people in your group or any other special requests. I'll make the arrangements for this 6-day Ski traverse in the Silvretta Alps to be an amazing adventure.

Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
