A tent-based micro expedition tour in the heart of Switzerland that combines long ascents, an overnight stay in an expedition tent under a starry sky and dreamlike views. We will explore lonely summits and glaciated valleys, ski untouched powder slopes and enjoy a warming base camp fondue. The remoteness, ruggedness and beauty of nature, which we will experience at close quarters, make for lasting memories! The perfect offer if you want to try out life on expedition for a short while, are ready to camp in the snow and want to experience lonely corners of our mountains with a well-attuned team. Are you up for the challenge?
CHF 690.00
The sky slowly turns pink and the summits lined up one after another look even more dramatic and rugged than they did in daylight. It is a wonderful natural spectacle. The sun stops warming us and we have to shovel out a level platform on which to pitch our tents. By the time we are finished, night has already caught up with us. Meanwhile the fondue simmers on the gas stove we rely on for these tours, waiting for hungry athletes. The sky fills with stars, the visibility is crystal clear and the air is icy cold. We drink a sip of mulled wine and toast the successful day, chat for a while and then head into our tents, where we are embraced by warm sleeping bags. Tomorrow will be another magnificent day that will take us into untouched corners of the canton of Uri, far away from everything and yet very close to the nature we value so exceptionally.
Our tent-based micro expedition tours are as unique as you are: that is why we plan them carefully and full of adventure, so that we experience an unforgettable adventure full of breathtaking views, movement and fun in the powder snow.
Some of the areas where we offer our tent-based tours are:
Muotatal, Klausenpass, Urserental, Sustenpass, Erstfelder Tal, Furkapass and many more.

Ein unglaubliches Erlebnis!!
Die Tour mit euch war das coolste Abenteuer den wir jemals erlebt haben!
Wir haben uns für eine Skitour mit Zeltübernachtung entschieden - Es hat sich als super Entscheidung bewiesen, es war ein anstrengendes aber unvergessliches Wochenende!
Danke euch vom ganzen Herzen für das Engagement und bis auf ein nächstes begegnen!

Some experience is an advantage. The tour is adapted to the level of the participants.
Fitness for ascents of up to 1200 vertical metres per day with a heavy rucksack.
At the meeting point we organise our equipment and carry out a transceiver check. After applying our skins, we begin the approach towards the first base camp, from where we will decide, depending on the snowpack and weather situation, which summits we will climb and ski in the afternoon and the following day! The approach on the first day takes between 3 and 6 hours, depending on the pace of all participants and the snow conditions. Up to the base camp the ascent is fairly avalanche-safe and steady and involves no major difficulties. We pitch the base camp, have a snack and decide on a suitable afternoon tour so that all participants are at the same level. Occasionally the afternoon tour may include steep steps that have to be tackled with crampons and ice axe, as well as steep slopes on the descent. After experiencing a dream descent we return to the base camp. Nothing stands in the way of a quiet and restful night! We can count shooting stars, eat and drink something warm and make ourselves comfortable in the expedition tents, read a little or chat with our new friends. We let the evening come to a relaxed close.
We fortify ourselves with breakfast and then set off, with dreamlike visibility, towards the next ascent. The summit is again chosen together with all members so that everyone is at the same level. The location of the base camp allows everyone to find the right tour, whether something relaxed and gentle or steep couloirs with steep walls for friends of adrenaline!
After 3 to 6 hours of approach we have reached our objective. Now it is once again time for: skins off and «Send It»!
As soon as we have reached the base camp, everything is packed up and we head back into the valley. The pictures of this incredible micro expedition tour are taken by a professional photographer. That way you can prove to everyone what a truly extraordinary experience you have had!
On this adventure we spend the night in suitable four-season expedition tents. On request we are happy to provide suitable insulated sleeping mats and sleeping bags.
Yes, splitboarders are absolutely welcome on this tour! The tent-based expedition is specifically designed for ski tourers and splitboarders alike. Since we move through untouched and at times demanding terrain, you must have your splitboard firmly under control both on the ascent and on the descents, in all snow conditions.
We are maximally flexible. In order to offer you the best possible adventure, we choose the area in advance depending on the current snow situation and the skiing ability of the group. Possible regions in the heart of Switzerland are the Urserental, the Sustenpass, the Klausenpass area, the Muotatal, the Erstfelder Tal or the Furkapass. We agree on the exact objective and the summits together as a team on site.
Since we spend the night in the middle of the snow at over 2’000 metres, it gets bitterly cold at night. You absolutely need a very warm winter sleeping bag with a comfort range of -10 °C to -25 °C as well as a strongly insulating sleeping mat (or a combination of two mats).
Half board at the camp is included in the price. Out of commitment to animal welfare we do without meat and fish entirely. Instead, look forward to a warming, vegetarian base camp fondue straight from the gas stove under the starry sky. We also prepare breakfast together. You bring your own personal snacks (bars, dried fruit, chocolate etc.) for during the day.
