The best ski tours in the Alps for a magic winter in South Tyrol

Ski tours in the Alps are becoming increasingly popular – every year thousands of ski-touring fans eagerly await to welcome back the cold season and pack for their winter holidays in South Tyrol. Aside from thee ski pistes, in the quiet of a nearly unspoiled nature,  a unique experience awaits. The only prerequisites are physical fitness and a bit of endurance; after a rather strenuous climb you will be rewarded with a splendid view and a thrilling descent.

If you are a fan of ski tours, the Alps are a true paradise. However, a word of caution: always check the current weather conditions and avalanche risk in the area! If you feel you cannot properly assess the risks, ask a mountain- or ski touring guide for advice. Bringing the proper equipment is also paramount: Weatherproof clothing, sufficient food supplies, an avalanche beacon, a shovel, a probe, a first-aid kit, and possibly a map.
