Would you like to give ski touring a go and head off-piste for the first time? Or do you simply want to kick off the winter season in a completely stress-free way? Either way, a ski tour up Sattelberg in the Wipptal is the perfect choice for you!
The tour is ideal for getting started in the world of ski touring. Thanks to its gentle gradient, wide slopes and moderate length, it offers the perfect terrain for your first ski tour. Your guide will show you the correct ascent technique using skins, give you an insight into how to break trail properly and how to behave in winter terrain. We’ll keep a relaxed pace and focus on having fun! There’s a lovely, rustic stop for refreshments at the Sattelberg-Alm – after all, after your efforts, we've earned a treat!
Meeting point Sattelberg hiking car park, 9.00 am
Schedule
We meet in the morning at the car park. First, we’ll check your kit and you’ll get a brief introduction to how to use the equipment properly. Together, we’ll put on our skins, clip into our bindings and set off at a slow pace. The route takes us across meadows and along the former ski slope with a moderate gradient up to the Sattelbergalm at 1,637 metres. Your mountain guide will give you tips on efficient ascending, how to break trail properly and how to behave in winter terrain. The Sattelbergalm is a worthwhile destination in its own right! From there, we’ll continue along the former ski slope, circumventing a steep section, to the summit of the Sattelberg at 2,115 metres. From there, you’ll be treated to a beautiful panoramic view over the Wipptal valley, and a bench invites you to take a break. The descent down the former ski run is a delight even for less experienced skiers, and the Sattelbergalm is already awaiting you with a well-deserved stop for refreshments. (970hm, approx. 6h)
