Haute Route means the high road and on this trip we head to Austria for the Silvretta Haute Route.

Silvretta is a slightly easier Haute Route with a little less elevation gain each day and a little less steep off-piste skiing, so it is perfect for those who have tried top tours before and want a challenging adventure at the right level.

Suits Intermediate to Advanced riders
Previous knowledge
  • You need to be in good condition as it is a week with many altitude meters to be covered every day (600-1000 altitude meters per day).
  • You should also have some experience of off-piste skiing.
  • Furthermore, you should have done a few top tours before so you know how to handle trail skins and how to go on randonnée bindings.
Terrain
  • The mountains in Austria are slightly lower than in the French Alps so we are between 2000-3300 m on this tour. We often sleep at around 2300 m.

  1. Day 1: Arrival in InnsbruckYou can check in at the hotel from 3 pm in the afternoon.
  2. Day 2: Innsbruck - HeidelberghütteWe take the train to Ischgl and then the lift up and traverse the entire ski system. Arriving at the Heidelberg hut, we have lunch before heading out on an afternoon tour nearby.
  3. Day 3: Heidelberg Hut - Jamtal HutFrom the Heidelberg Hut we head up over the valley and head towards the Kronenjoch. This pass gives access to the upper parts of the Breites Wasser valley, where we have to ski down to reach the Jamtal Hut. If the conditions are good, we can also climb to the top of the Breite Krone (3097m) on the way.
  4. Day 4: Jamtal HütteA chance to enjoy a day's skiing with a lighter pack on! There are many good day trips from Jamtal Hut, providing many different options depending on the current snow and conditions. Hintere Jamspitze is one of our favourites.
  1. Day 5: Jamtal Hütte - Wiesbadener HütteA day spent mostly in glacial terrain. From Jamtal Hut we ascend the Jamtal Glacier to a final short steep climb that leads up to the Ochsenscharte Col (2913m). On the other side of the pass, the Vermunt glacier provides a fantastic northwest descent down to the Wiesbadener Hut where we spend the night.
  2. Day 6: Wiesbadener HütteThere are many good day trips above the Wiesbadener Hut, so we will choose a good target for the current snow and weather conditions. Buinlucke and Fuorcla Cunfin are both good excursions among excellent glacial scenery. Or maybe a summit trip up Piz Buin 3312 m
  3. Day 7: Wiesbadener Hütte - InnsbruckWe end the week with a trip down to Galtur. From the cabin, a relatively short climb (~300m climb) up to Rauhkopfscharte which takes us to the top of a long, northern valley – Bieltal. Arriving in Galtur, transport back to Innsbruck awaits, where we check into a hotel for the night.
  4. Day 8: Home journey dayYou check out of the hotel no later than 10:00 and continue the adventure on your own.
