SILVRETTA HAUTE ROUTE – AUSTRIA/SWITZERLAND

A legendary ski tour in the heart of the Alps

The Silvretta traverse is one of the most beautiful and accessible multi-day ski tours in the Alps. Located on the Austrian–Swiss border, it offers perfectly spaced huts, smooth glacier ascents, and panoramic ski descents.

Over six days, we’ll move hut-to-hut across the massif, climbing peaks like the Piz Buin (3,312 m) and enjoying classic alpine terrain. Perfect for those looking for their first real high mountain ski tour, or just a week immersed in pure alpine rhythm.
