Early ascents, quiet slopes and descents you’ve truly earned: at almlust you’ll find guided ski tours with mountain and ski guide Christoph, prepared uphill touring routes and plenty of alpine terrain for highly experienced ski tourers.

Ski touring around almlust – from safe to alpine

Ski touring is winter in one of its most beautiful forms: skins on, step by step uphill, cold air in your lungs, quiet in your head – and then that feeling at the top when the view and the anticipation of the descent arrive at the same time.

Around Flachau and the surrounding Salzburg mountains, you’ll find different ways to enjoy ski touring:

• guided ski tours with Christoph in alpine terrain

• prepared uphill touring routes for safe self-guided outings

• a large free touring area for very experienced ski tourers

That means everyone finds the right setting – from a first controlled ascent to a demanding winter day in open alpine terrain.

Guided ski tours with Christoph – safely in alpine terrain

If you want to experience alpine terrain not just from a distance but properly and responsibly, you’re in the best hands with Christoph. As a certified mountain and ski guide, he plans and leads ski tours that match your ability, fitness and the current conditions.

What you can expect:

• individually planned ski tours in alpine terrain

• honest assessment of avalanche conditions, weather and route choice

• technique tips for uphill movement, kick turns, pacing and safe descents

• small groups and lots of personal guidance

Every tour starts with a real conversation:

• How much ski touring experience do you already have?

• How confidently do you move away from the piste?

• What are you looking for – a scenic pleasure tour, a beautiful summit or something sportier?

From there, Christoph creates a winter day that is not only beautiful, but also responsibly planned.

5 Peaks Touring Trophy – ski touring on prepared pistes

For everyone who wants to enjoy ski touring independently but deliberately stay on prepared and controlled pistes, the 5 Peaks Touring Trophy is a great option.

These tours are especially attractive for:

• beginners with basic fitness and piste experience

• pleasure tourers who want to ascend without alpine risk

• guests looking for training laps or safe after-work-style touring

Your advantages:

• prepared uphill routes

• clear orientation

• predictable conditions

• a setting that is more snow- and avalanche-safe than open alpine terrain

In the region you’ll find five selected piste ski tours to explore on your own. They combine sporty uphill movement with a controlled framework and are perfect for getting used to the equipment, the rhythm and the effort – or simply for enjoying a sunrise on touring skis.

Free ski touring terrain – only for highly experienced tourers

Around Flachau, in the surrounding mountains and throughout the wider Salzburg region, a huge ski touring area opens up with countless possibilities in open terrain. That is wonderful – but it also demands real respect for the mountains.

For self-guided ski tours in alpine terrain, one thing is absolutely clear:

• only with sufficient alpine experience

• only with solid avalanche awareness and knowledge

• only with the ability to assess terrain, weather and exposure independently

• only with complete safety equipment and confident use of it

If you don’t yet have that experience, this is not the place to “just give it a try”. In that case, it makes much more sense to go out with Christoph or choose the prepared piste touring routes first.

Because in winter, freedom in the mountains is beautiful – but it always comes with responsibility.
