Where the Ascent Begins
Gear, knowledge and mindset
Preparing for a ski touring adventure means more than just gearing up, it’s about awareness and respect for the mountains.
- Choose the right gear: touring skis with skins, boots, poles, helmet, and layered clothing plus a warm extra layer for the descent
- Bring safety equipment: avalanche transceiver, shovel, and probe are essential
- Check conditions: always review weather and avalanche forecasts before departure
- Plan your route: know the terrain, timing, and possible exit options
- Never underestimate the mountains: go with a guide if unsure, tour with others, and be ready to turn back
- Move mindfully: pace yourself, stay alert, and respect the environment
