Ski touring is becoming increasingly popular among mountaineers. Many are fascinated by the solitude of the mountain, the ascent into alpine terrain, the view from the summit and finally the descent through soft, deep snow. In the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, in the Weißsee Glacier World, there are countless wonderful opportunities for ski touring.

Touring skiing is a special experience!
