Step by Step to Tristkogel Summit Bliss

On this guided ski tour, a certified mountain guide leads you from Langwied through 660 vertical meters of untouched nature, off the beaten track, to the 2,642-m-high Tristkogel. After a brief introduction to avalanche beacon (LVS) search, your guide shares valuable tips and tricks for backcountry skiing along the way: Which ascent techniques work best? How do you spot potential hazards? How do you pick the right line? After a relaxed summit break with breathtaking views, the highlight awaits: an exhilarating descent back down the mountain.
