Description
Come with me on this 8-day ski adventure in Central Switzerland!
If you have already done the classical Haute Route (all the way from Chamonix in France to Zermatt in Switzerland) or are hoping for some new adventures in the most remote corners of the Alps, this is the trip for you!
Located in the heart of Switzerland, our meeting point will be in Andermatt. This charming mountain village is located at 1437 meters above sea level and is where the Swiss federation started. Throughout these 8 magical days we will tour all the way from Andermatt to the beautiful mountain resort of Engelberg.
During the day, we will be skiing up and down the amazing mountains that surround us and, in the evenings, we will enjoy delicious homemade food and rest in cozy beds in the different small huts that we will find along the way.
In this skier's paradise, we will climb different peaks every day, like Mount SpannortGrassen mountain (3198 meters) or Mount Lochberg (3079 meters). It will be my pleasure to guide safely around this area and allow you to discover these fantastic spots.
You will find a more detailed itinerary below!
Keep in mind that all participants need to be experienced skiers (PSIA level 8). Also, having an excellent physical condition is mandatory for all participants.
If you wish to do another ski tour in Switzerland, you can also join me on this 6-day ski tour in the Silvretta Alps!

What people are saying about ES Adventure Guides
Peter
This was a great trip and Explore Share made finding the right trip super easy. Our guide was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and experienced and willing to teach us the skills we would have needed to climb the Matterhorn. Unfortunatly, the conditions were not right to climb so our guide recemmended another trip which was still a great experience and lots of fun.
Emma
Very user friendly platform with timely responses from Explore Share representatives. The trip itself with Tom from Alps Adventures was awesome and ensure that we had an experience that was 100% what we wanted. Recommend both the platform and the guide. Thanks to all for arranging and delivering so well.
I had am amazing time during the 1-day off-piste training course at Hoch-Ybrig. Urs, our main mountain guide, was very helpful in answering my queries before the course, and Lupe from explore-share was helpful in selecting the course. We had 3 groups under Urs, Mario and Patrick, and I was in the group with Patrick. He gave us a lot of nice tips and individualized video analysis. He made a special effort to convey everything in English, since I don't know German. All the participants were very helpful and friendly too! The course is good value for money as skis are included for the weekend in the course price.
