the one – numerous variants
on request from April – May 2026 // Valais, Switzerland
The royal ski tour traverse between Val d’Anniviers and Zermatt is where epic memories are made. One way or the other, this 6 days hut-to-hut tour takes you on a wild journey through some of the most beautiful Swiss mountains.
Picture this: Gliding on spring time snow, traversing stunning terrain, and navigating glaciers as you soak the views of Weisshorn, Dent Blanche, Ober Gabelhorn, and their majestic companions. It’s a royal ski tour, less known than the famous Classic Haute Route but equally awe-inspiring. Please note that this traverse is set in a technically demanding alpine playground, and as such, prior experience in ski-mountaineering is required.
Let’s get the legs going, into the wild this coming spring. Get in touch for possible dates and duration.
First group is already in the making for April 2025.
Alternative destinations (if conditions for the royal route aren’t ideal, worry not): Central Switzerland, Berner Oberland, Vanoise, Piemont, and Prättigau.
