Zermatt is surrounded by a large number of glaciers, which can be easily reached by cable cars. When the glaciers are covered with snow and the snow bridges are firm, than glacier-boarding is possible. Glacier boarding is for the sporty skier a worthwhile alternative to heli-boarding. The mountain world around Zermatt is distinguished trough its wilderness, size and beauty. Depending on the season and requests it is possible to choose between easier, longer or more difficult tours. Glacier-boarding with powder snow, crevasses and an impressive environment is always a worthwhile adventure and very special.
Requirements:
Glacier experience is not necessary and you don't have to be a mountaineer for this unforgettable adventure. However you have to be a solid boarder with some off piste experience. Besides the boarding skills you need to be able to walk ½ to 1½ hours with snowshoes in one go.
Service:
I am available to pick you up from your hotel or chalet and drop you off again. We also can meet at the bottom of one of the cable cars. Whatever you prefer. Then we ride together up to the starting point. For safety reasons you will be equipped by me with an avalanche transceiver and a harness. From the starting point we walk to the specific descents. From there I lead you along crevasses and ice towers over the glacier. If safety allows it you can board the slopes first. On the tours we will find enough time for taking photos.
Fee:
CHF 550.00 for 1 or 2 people, for every additional person a fee of CHF 50.00 per person will be charged.
Just a few glacier to ski:
Unterer Theodulgletscher, Stockhorn south face, Findelgletscher, Schwarztor.
Notice:
On certain descents it's necessary that I accompany you with skis for safety reasons, only with skis it's possible to give you quick assistance at any time. But don't worry because of my skis your fun won't be spoilt.
