Last winter showed very dramatically just how dangerous it could be to set off on your own off piste. Every year, dedicated skiers are encouraged to set off on tours on wild, untouched mountains - with skins on their skis to make walking uphill easier.
The experienced ski and mountain guide knows the score! He isn't the fountain of all knowledge but he can judge the conditions on a mountain in varying weather conditions - something that is vitally important when undertaking ski tours.
The gentle slopes of the Pinzgau and Kitzbühel mountains offer everything a skier could ever wish for. There are both long and short inclines with speedy, top quality lifts to bring you up to a tremendous choice of slopes.
Between Rettenstein and Wildseeloder is one of the best places for ambitious tourers: the first part of the climb can be tackled by gondola, after that the rest of the way is on foot.
Have a look in the picture gallery for a few examples of what last winter was like.
