Youthful Peaks: Advanced Ski Touring Course in Stubai Alps

"Learning by doing" is the motto here. The goal of the expert course in the Stubai Alps is to independently carry out a ski high tour. This begins with correctly "reading" the avalanche report and the subsequent tour planning and ends with choosing the route for the descent. Perfect training and touring grounds extend around the renowned Franz Senn Hut. A rewarding destination, for example, is the Wildgratscharte, 3186 m. Different types of kick turns are practiced and repeated on this tour. The ascent to the Wilde Hinterbergl, 3288 m, is planned under alternating leadership of the participants. The ski tour to the Inner Summer Wall, 3122 m, requires a short, easy climb and appropriate securing techniques in the summit area. The mountain guide shows how it's done. In addition, a whole day is planned for practical training at the Alpeiner Ferner - with exercises in roping up, leading a roped team, and of course crevasse rescue. The finale is a climb to the highest mountain in the Stubai Alps, the 3473 meter high Ruderhofspitze.
