The Swiss Alpine Club has also published its own scale for ski touring, which is a very good guide.

Steileres Felsgelände und ausgesetzte Stellen herrschen vor. Die Sicherung besteht aus Drahtseilen, Ketten, Eisenklammern, Trittstifte und längeren eventuell senkrechten Leitern. Die Schwierigkeiten sind ohne Sicherungselemente bis III (UIAA-Kletterskala) zu meistern. Trittsicherheit und Schwindelfreiheit, eine gute Kondition, etwas Kraft und Ausdauer in Armen und Beinen, sowie eine Klettersteigausrüstung ist empfohlen.

Steiles bis sehr steiles Felsgelände und längere bzw. sehr häufige ausgesetzte Passagen herrschen vor. Die Sicherung besteht aus Drahtseilen, Ketten, Eisenklammern, Trittstifte und längeren, senkrechten oder überhängenden Leitern. Klammern und Stifte können auch weiter auseinander liegen. Die Schwierigkeiten sind ohne Sicherungselemente bis IV (UIAA-Kletterskala) zu meistern. Trittsicherheit und Schwindelfreiheit, eine sehr gute Kondition, Kraft und Ausdauer in Armen und Beinen, sowie eine Klettersteigausrüstung ist dringend empfohlen.

Senkrechtes, oft auch überhängendes Gelände, welches meist sehr ausgesetzt ist, herrschen vor. Die Sicherung besteht aus Drahtseilen, Ketten, Eisenklammern, Trittstifte und längeren, senkrechten oder überhängenden Leitern. Klammern und Stifte können sehr weit auseinander liegen. An ausgesetzten und steilen Stellen kann es oftmals nur noch ein Drahtseil geben. Vom Können her wird genug Kraft in Armen und Händen vorausgesetzt, da längere senkrechte bis überhängende Stellen und kleinere Kletterstellen bis II (UIAA-Kletterskala) möglich sind. Eine Klettersteigausrüstung ist Vorausssetzung! Für Anfänger und Kinder nicht geeignet!

Accommodation
& Catering

The 4 star hotel Montivas Lodge is located in a prime location and is therefore perfect for your adventures in the Valtellina Alps. The focus is on sustainability. Climate-friendly construction and resource-saving lifestyle meet fair-trade food instead of mass-produced goods.

Room types

Whether single or double rooms - where mountain sports are the main focus, there is also enough space for your own belongings. Thus, the rooms not only have spacious bathrooms, but also enough space and storage. Another plus: you wake up every day with a magnificent mountain panorama before going heli-skiing and can enjoy exactly this on the balcony while relaxing in the evening.

 

Double rooms

Single room (optional on request)

Catering

In your accommodation you will get a Campions-Breakfast every morning. The rich buffet consists exclusively of seasonal and regional organic products and strengthens you optimally for your high alpine adventures. In addition, a dinner is included for you on the first day, ideal for getting to know the group better.

The guides will go with you one evening to the Restaurant Stua de Legnwhere you can enjoy a 4-course meal followed by a grappa tasting.

Equipment

Since this is a trip with high personal responsibility, some things are to be taken yourself. Especially a helmet, an avalanche transceiver, as well as an airbag backpack are mandatory!

Helmet

Mandatory!

Avalanche transceiver

Mandatory! Please make sure that the batteries are new and the device works.

Airbag backpack

Mandatory! Please make sure that the gas cartridge is full and that the backpack has been serviced. You should do this every 2-3 years anyway, preferably at a specialist shop.

Ski

Here you should take especially freeride skis, optionally also piste skis, because we will certainly go there whizzing. If you do not have suitable skis, please let us know so that we can organize something for you.

Touring ski

If you have any, please take them with you. It can easily be that we go on a tour with or without heli support. Do not forget to pack the skins.

Snowboard

If you are snowboarding, please do not take your park or pipe board, but a good freeride or big mountain board.

Split snowboard

If you have one, please take it with you. It can easily be that we go on a tour with or without heli support. Do not forget to pack the skins.

Telescopic ski poles

Since they are easy to store in the backpack. Especially for snowboarders, they are very advisable when we need to push out somewhere.

Program

Since you are on your heli-ski adventure in high alpine terrain, the weather can be very changeable and unpredictable. Therefore, we adjust the program daily to the weather and snow conditions to give you the best and safest experience possible. Nevertheless, here you get an overview of what your adventure could look like:

Day 1: Meet & Greet, preliminary discussion of the coming days, dinner together

Day 2: Material control and piste day. Why? So that our mountain guides can accurately assess your skills and thus also allocate the heligroups for the flights. Maybe there is already a flight! In the evening we all go out for dinner together

Day 3: If the conditions allow it, will be flown. Alternatively, you can go on a tour with or without helicopter support.

Day 4: If for some reason no flights have been made to date, the morning will still be taken as a backup.
Afterwards Farewell and a good journey home.

Tips & Info

We move in the heli-ski in the free ski area and at an altitude of up to 3100 meters. Depending on the skill level, per group in the heli (4 people) can already ski descents of up to 1000 m per flight and slopes up to 40 °.

We recommend for this trip a Travel insurance with cancellation protectionso that you are on the safe side if something should happen before or during the trip.
