Ski mountaineering is a popular way to explore the mountains during winter. And that’s a good thing – aside from the joy of skiing through soft powder, it significantly increases safety in avalanche-prone terrain.

Unlimited Possibilities

Forget crowded ski resorts. Compared to groomed ski slopes, ski touring offers virtually unlimited options. I offer ski touring trips both in the Tatras and the Alps – there’s something for everyone.

In the area of Kasprowy Wierch and the Kondratowa Valley, the Tatra National Park (TPN) has designated several beginner-friendly routes specifically for ski touring. These are the ideal places to start your adventure with climbing skins.

WHAT DOES A SKI TOUR WITH AN IVBV MOUNTAIN GUIDE LOOK LIKE?

This offer is designed for both beginners and more experienced ski tourers who, after their first outings near Kasprowy Wierch, want to safely explore other areas of the Tatras or the Alps.

I’m happy to share my many years of experience with you. I will help you choose the right gear, teach you the essential techniques for ascending and descending in off-piste terrain, and show you how to optimally plan your ski tour based on avalanche risk, snowpack, and weather conditions.

Knowledge of safe winter travel in the mountains is complex and experience-based – which is exactly why I recommend going with a certified guide.

There are many options in this category – from single-day outings or weekend hut-based trips, to multi-day alpine traverses.
