The aptly named "Tour of the Sky" is an epic high mountain journey between Zermatt and Zinal.
Ski Touring Difficult
Starting in a legendary alpine town, finishing in a lesser-known but equally scenic Swiss village and passing through the most famous peaks in the Alps en route, this is a classic high mountain ski tour.
The scenery on this tour is scarcely believable, and the peaks you pass by on all 5 days will be familiar to all keen ski mountaineers. Much of the tour takes place at high altitude and this is an adventure that should only be attempted with a perfect weather forecast. The added bonus of doing the tour with blue sky above you is that you will be able to get great photos of those legendary peaks you are skiing beneath!
A warm up day that can be lift assisted, travelling under the awe inspiring N face of the Matterhorn to the traditional Schonbiel Hut, well off the beaten track.
