SILVRETTA SKI SAFARI

The Silvretta region is remote, stunning and one of the best (and most under rated) places you can tour in the Alps. The PT Ski Silvretta Safari is a 4 day ski tour into this wild and beautiful part of the Alps. The mountain huts you will stay in are lovely, in particularly the Silvretta Hutte and the scenery you will pass through is breathtaking. If conditions are right you might also be able to scramble to the top of peaks such as Piz Buin (3312m), Silvrettahorn (3244m) or Rauher Kopf (3101m), all of which are very special and require no particular expertise in mountain climbing.

Important information about ski ability
In order to take part on this ski tour you must be a competent off piste skier capable of skiing all types of snow conditions and in poor weather; you should be able to demonstrate good control of your skis at all times. The group will be touring in remote areas and should you not be of the required then this may compromise route selection, your safety and potentially the safety of the other participants. If you are not of the requisite level then in the interests of safety you may be obliged to finish the tour early; there will not be any refund for any part of the trip that you are unable to complete as a result. We will always discuss skiing ability with anyone who has not skied with us before.
