FAQ

Do I need a mountain guide for a ski tour?

Yes, a mountain guide is highly recommended for a ski tour. Ski tours in alpine terrain require experience in avalanche awareness, route selection and snow conditions. Especially in high alpine regions such as Zermatt, many tours lead through challenging terrain with steep descents and possible crevasses. If you want to get the best out of your ski tour and minimize risks, a professional guide is the best choice.

What are the advantages of a local ski tour guide?

A local ski tour guide from Zermatt knows the mountains, snow and weather conditions like no other. Thanks to his regional expertise, the tour can be optimally planned and flexibly adapted to current conditions. He also enriches the experience with exciting stories and insights into the regional culture and mountain world - for a safe and unforgettable ski tour.

What should I look out for when booking a ski tour guide?

Make sure that your mountain guide is certified according to the standards of the International Union of Mountain Guide Associations (UIAGM/IFMGA). This certification guarantees comprehensive training and compliance with the highest safety standards. All ZERMATTERS mountain guides are trained according to these international guidelines.

What difficulty levels are ski tours divided into?

Ski tours are divided into seven main levels of difficulty according to the SAC ski tour scale:

  • L: Easy
  • WS: Less difficult
  • ZS: Fairly difficult
  • S: Difficult
  • SS: Very difficult
  • AS: Extremely Difficult
  • EX: Extremely difficult

Each of these grades can be additionally refined by a minus (-) or plus (+) to allow finer gradations.

The classification is based on main criteria such as steepness, exposure, terrain shape and bottlenecks in the descent. Auxiliary criteria such as the complexity of the route and the correctability of errors can also be taken into account.

What equipment do I need for a ski tour?

The equipment required varies depending on the ski tour and can be viewed directly on the equipment list for the respective ski tour.

When will a final decision be made about the ski tour?

The final decision is usually made 48 hours before the start of the ski tour, based on current weather and route conditions. The ZERMATTERS home base will inform you in good time and make any necessary adjustments.

How do I choose the right ski tour for my ability?

The choice of ski tour should always be based on your personal ability and alpine experience. Our offers are therefore provided with clear information on the level of difficulty, required stamina and technique to help you make the right decision. We will be happy to provide you with personal advice directly.
