Just a few years ago, ski touring was only for specialists who appreciated the original way of skiing. In the meantime, it has become a trend sport for all generations.

But what is so fascinating that so many people strap on their touring skis and trudge up the mountain through untouched snowy landscapes?

For us, there are  5 main reasons:

1.   The winter sun on your face
The fewer hours of sunshine we have in winter, the more precious they are. If we are lucky enough to be spoiled by the winter sun on a ski tour, then it has already been worth it for us.

2.    Gliding over fresh snow
We were born in the Lech Valley and have experienced countless snowy winters. Nevertheless, it always fills us with childlike joy when we can ski down freshly snow-covered slopes into the valley after a tour.

3rd    Mountain experience
A ski tour may be strenuous. But nothing can replace the rewarding feeling when you have reached your destination and can then make your turns in the snow on the descent. It simply feels like royalty!

4.  Becoming one with movement and nature
A ski tour is not just an effective full-body workout. Walking slowly up the mountain step by step through untouched snowy landscapes has a meditative quality and opens us up to the wonders of nature.

5.    Freedom
Of course you need preparation, the right equipment and knowledge about the right behavior on the winter mountain. But apart from that, you can simply set off and feel your head clear and your heart light, far away from the crowds, noise and hustle and bustle.
