Whether you hike or take a bike - a transalpine tour is always something special despite its current on-trend status. In winter, however, an alpine crossing with skies is a lonely adventures with magnificent deep snow downhill runs. The idea: In five days from the wintery northern side of the Alps to the spring of Mediterranean Meran and its palm trees.

Wonderful one-week ski tour through the Ötztal Alps with numerous high three-thousand metre peaks and glaciers. Avalanche and mountaineering equipment and knowledge are a prerequisite, as are good physical condition, surefootedness and a head for heights as well as stable, good weather and safe avalanche conditions.
