Follow the Snow! Freetouring Camp - po(w)dered by Sport65: Ein fixer Termin, dem letzten Schnee der Saison auf der Spur!

Die Idee...

Wohin es da gehen wird? Wissen wir noch nicht!
Was wir aber wissen: In den letzten Jahren war es gerade im Mai noch super von der Schneelage - und eigentlich total schade, dass wir das in unserem Programm nicht genutzt haben.
Es ist absolut nichts mehr los in den Bergen, man ist alleine unterwegs und kann wirkllich danach die Ski total befriedigt "einsommern".
Deshalb haben wir entscheiden: Für eine kleine Freeridegruppe diesen Termin anzubieten - denn praktischerweise ist der Donnerstag auch noch ein Feiertag und der Termin bietet sich an.
Natürlich schauen wir, dass wir eines der Gebiete (wie hier in den Skigebieten beschrieben) anzusteuern, in dem die Bahnen uns noch so weit hoch wie möglich bringen - evtl. planen wir dann auch die ein oder andere Hüttenübernachtung mit ein. Infos dazu kommen dann vor der Reise, hier müssen wir Wetter- und Schneelage kurzfristig abwarten - daher findet ihr zwar eine Beschreibung der Unterkunft, diese wird aber u.U. etwas anders aussehen (die Leistungen bleiben aber gleich!).

Aber ansonsten gilt natürlich wie immer bei unseren Follow the Snow! Reisen:

Ein fixer Termin, eine flexible Region und unbestimmte und flexible Skigebiete - das ist die Devise für unserere einzigartigen Follow the Snow! Camps.
Je nach Schnee- und Wettervorhersage entscheiden wir kurzfristig, wo es hingehen soll.
Ca. 4-10 Tage vor Reisebeginn teilen wir dir dann die Reisedestination, die Adresse und Lage unserer Unterkunft mit, wo und wann wir uns treffen.
Mehr Flexibilität? Geht nicht!

Also - sei gerne mit uns am Start, wenn wir den Winter einfach nochmals ein Stückchen verlängern - und unter uns gesagt: Das ist die absolut schönste Zeit in den Alpen...

Information for the Freetouring & Adventure Skicamps:

It's the combination of freeride and touring. Enjoying a nice ascent while hiking between 600 to 1200 meters in altitude a day with panoramic views in a beautiful landscape with a long and thrilling run trough firn or powder to end the day. That's what we call freetouring! But: If there is fresh powder all over the place we will not be wasting it and ski before we hike.
You will neither need ultra light gear nor the big freeride boys with 120mm underfoot for this camp.
