Our tips for your ski tour in the Zillertal in Tyrol
Tour planning for ski touring in the Zillertal in Tyrol
The Zillertal in Tyrol is a true ski touring paradise: here you will find everything your touring heart desires in deep snow, from short and easy tours for beginners to challenging ski mountaineering tours.
The Zillertal as a paradise for ski tourers during your winter holiday in Kaltenbach
The ski touring trend: With special touring skis you hike up the mountains away from the groomed slopes and when you get to the top and have enjoyed the view of the Zillertal Alps enough, you ski back down on the same skis.
You'll get help on the ascent with special touring bindings on your skis, as well as climbing skins and crampons to protect you from slipping. It's best to grab your friends or an experienced mountain guide for your ski tour.
Especially at the beginning, you shouldn't venture off-piste without a guide. You should also definitely familiarize yourself with tour planning, equipment, and avalanche danger.
We have a few tips and tour suggestions for you that you can try out on your next holiday at the Explorer Hotel Zillertal in Kaltenbach.
