Description
Come along on this 2-day ski touring program in the Gotthard Swiss region. Over these days, I will guide you on some of the best descents around Andermatt and Oberalppass. A great and classic treat for those passionate about the mountain and winter.
The Oberalppass (2,044 m) is a classic Swiss spot and connects the Graybunden and Uri cantons, between Andermatt and Disentis. To get the program started, I will start by meeting you at Gemsstockbahn Talstation. Just like Andermatt, this area has perfect terrain and courses to explore nature and enjoy the amazing alpine winter landscape.
The program involves walking segments of around 3 hours, and groups of between 1 and 5 skiers. It is recommended that guests have a fit fitness level. It is also advisable to have some ski touring experience.
The equipment you will need includes: skis suitable for skins, proper clothing, avalanche protection gear, backpack, and sun protection.
Please note that you will also need to plan for your lunch for both days.

Mountain Guide
I was born in Erstfeld in 1972. I currently live in Silenen, in the Canton of Uri (Switezerland), with my family. I became a professional mountain guide in 2000. Since then, I have spent many winters in the area of Saas-Fee, where I acquired vast experience.
As part of my mountaineering experience, I participated in the setup of the Hexenstieg via ferrata route, also known as the "witches trail".
Up in the mountain, I enjoy both winter and summer. My favorite activities are freeriding, ski touring, ice climbing and sports climbing. One thing that I particularly enjoy is discovering new areas, always with safety as a golden rule. I also provide training programs according to your specific needs.
The guests that come along in my tours have different goals. Sometimes they have a particular goal in mind that they want to achieve, or they want to go on a specific course. Other times, they just want an unforgettable experience on the mountain to make their dreams come true. I hope to see you in one of my groups soon and help you reach YOUR goals too.

What people are saying about Leo
James
Hello, Leo was fantastic, we had a bad weather day our first day. Low clouds, Leo still gave us a challenge. We ended early afternoon because of the low clouds and flat light. Leo was consulting all his sources to find a better second day. We ended up at Andermatt on the second day with blue skies and lots of powder. Leo brought us into some pristine spots and we rolled a full epic day! The education that Leo supplied, fed into the rest of our trip and made some of the best ski days we have ever had. Thank you for finding Leo for us. It was definitely a great experience.

The tour was amazing. We had difficult conditions and this was our first time on a tour, but Leo adapted the day and we had a fabulous time. He is knowledgeable, patient and has a wicked sense of humour. We had the best day on the mountain.

Due to weather I was unable to ice climb but still got some amazing rock climbing in!!! Leo was an amazing guide from feeling safe and learning a ton to knowledge of the area and culture! I will definitely be back.

Leo Infanger was a fantastic guide. He found great powder for us even though it was 4 days since the last snowfall! Avalanche danger was moderate at the time of our trip, but we felt completely safe under Leo's guidance. We had never used skins before and Leo gave us great instructions on how to put them on the skis and the proper technique for using them, even when traversing across extremely steep slopes. I look forward to spending another day with Leo the next time we are in Switzerland.
