Saturday: Arrive and settle in with a welcome drink and a 3-course dinner. Meet your fellow adventurers and discuss the week ahead.
Sunday: Start with a morning yoga class, followed by a delicious breakfast. We will then accompany you to the village to get you set up with your ski touring equipment rental. From the local sports shop you can skin up to the quiet GG Resort to warm-up. Back at MoaAlm, you can enjoy our sunny terrace and a relaxing hot tub soak.
Monday: We're looking for an early start! After breakfast we will give you a lift down to meet your English speaking mountain guide. An avalanche rescue training will be part of your first guided ski tour. On the descent you enjoy some nice powder turns! In the afternoon, there will be a restorative yoga session at MoaAlm.
Tuesday: You will have the chance to improve your free-riding skills. In the ski resort you will work on your technique, first under easier conditions on the slope, followed by the transfer to off-piste terrain. You will learn how to ski in deep snow with less effort and even more fun! Topped off with freshly-baked cake, a hot tub session and dinner at the house.
Wednesday: After a soothing yoga session and breakfast, enjoy a day off. You could take a day trip to Lienz, do some ski practice on your own, try your hand at rodeling down our 3km sledge track or just relax and recharge your batteries at MoaAlm! Dinner is at one of the restaurants in the village.
Thursday & Friday: Dive into two full days of ski touring. Depending on weather and snow conditions the mountain guide will plan the tours each evening. Examples for tours we might be doing: Glorerhütte, Greiwiesen, Figerhorn, Stüdlhütte, Weißer Knoten, Schönleitenspitze, Hochtor, Böses Weibl. Après-ski drinks, a last muscle soak in the hot tub and a final evening meal with your new friends.
Saturday: Departure after breakfast.
The program may vary depending on the weather and snow conditions.
