URNER HUT SKI TOURS
APRIL 2027 - Secure your spot now!
Trip Overview
Our 5-day Urner hut-to-hut ski tour highlights the amazing ski terrain deep in the heart of Switzerland. This exciting range of mountains provides aesthetic and proud descents, more intimate alpine hut settings, and a customized atmosphere away from the crowds that typically travel the more famous hut tours in the Alps. Instead of fighting for fresh tracks, we'll find untouched lines every day of our tour. Starting from from the town of Andermatt, we'll take a bus to the start of our route. After putting on skins, we'll begin our journey, travelling from hut to hut, seeking out the best snow. We'll skin over passes and up to summits with unbelievable views, then skiing long descents to arrive at our next night's accommodation in a cozy wardened mountain hut. Our final ski day ends in the town of Engelberg, where we'll say our farewells and reminisce on an amazing and unique experience we've all just shared.
The Hut Scene
There's nothing quite like a Swiss mountain hut experience. When you arrive, you can step out of your skis and boots, put on the provided comfortable hut slippers, and put your feet up, knowing that a relaxing evening at the hut is your reward for a big day out shredding. You'll be summoned inside for a communal dinner with the other guests, where you'll meet and connect with skiers from all over the world and share your stories and experiences. Once satiated, you'll head up to bed, which is in shared dormitory style. With a good night's rest, you'll wake up refreshed, grab some breakfast and homemade hut tea, and head back out for another amazing day of skiing in some big terrain.
Logistics
We will meet in Andermatt the day before the trip begins for a gear check, introductions, and to discuss the details of our itinerary, including weather and snow conditions. Any last minute gear changes can be made then. There are a few rental and ski shops where you can find any last minute items, or even rent equipment, however April is considered shoulder season, so it's worth calling ahead and reserving if you want to rent skis (we recommend bringing your own set though). While food is provided during the hut trip, extra snacks are recommended to supplement the packed lunch provided at each hut. Transportation to and from our meeting / departure locations is easily accessible by train or taxi, and since we end in a different location from where we started, it's easy to return to Andermatt by train to gather any non-ski luggage. The Swiss rail system is quite efficient and modern, and they offer station to station transfer of baggage if needed. Most hotels are happy to store your extra luggage for you. Paying for goods and services can easily be done with credit or bank card or Swiss Francs. The huts accept cash (CHF) or credit card.
