Description
Experience the thrill of skiing down a mountain after hiking up yourself. Book this unique ski touring initiation on the Maiskogel mountain in Kaprun. An exclusive offer for skiers with good fitness.
Discover the big trend in the Alps of using regular ski slopes as a safe way to go up. Join a local guide for a ski touring initiation on the Maiskogel in Kaprun. Hike up the mountain, enjoy a light lunch, and ski down the slopes.
Meet your local guide Hajo, a very experienced ski teacher, and head to a rental place to get your ski touring equipment for the day. Hike up with your guide as much as you like, up to a denivelation of 1000m. On top, have a light lunch in the cozy Saulochalm (goulash soup or apfelstrudel recommended).
After lunch, click into your skis and ski down the mountain. After this experience, you should be ready to do more fully safe ski touring inside ski areas on your own.
This experience is meant for medium to advanced skiers who have good fitness and endurance. People who run and train at home too. Individuals who are probably more fit than the rest of their family or friends group and who want to add a next level skill to their general skiing ability and fitness regime.
