Freeride & Ski Touring Guided Tours

For advanced skiers and snowboarders seeking adventure beyond the groomed pistes, Selva di Val Gardena offers specialized guided freeride and ski touring experiences. These tours, led by expert local mountain guides from certified schools like Catores (though distinct from their general mountaineering courses), take participants into untouched powder fields and breathtaking backcountry terrain. Safety is paramount, with guides providing essential equipment like avalanche transceivers, probes, and shovels, and conducting thorough safety briefings. Ski touring involves ascending with skins attached to skis to reach pristine descents, offering a profound connection with the mountain. Tours vary in difficulty and duration, from half-day freeride sessions to multi-day ski traverses. Prices range significantly, starting from €100-€180 per person for a group freeride day, up to €250-€400+ for private or specialized ski touring adventures, not including equipment rental.
