Ski Touring in New Zealand

Ski touring and mountaineering in New Zealand

Ski Tour 'Melchior Team' 2010

Many thanks for the annual ski touring trip. Great weather, great organisation, and the trip from Centennial Hut to Chancellor Hut was a classic. Plus which, visiting “my” glacier was a bucket-list tick. Gary tells me this was my 15th adventure with New Zealand’s leading boutique guiding company which probably says it all! Many thanks.

Wanaka Spring times and Alpinism & Ski adventures

The local ski field Treble Cone has just closed and we had a blast on the last day:

Alpinism & Ski team Gary Dickson and Iris Abächerli

having fun is part of our alpinism adventures

Skiing is not over yet as ski touring is happening for probably another month, conditions are great out there with plenty of snow and this week certainly also a splendid high over the Southern Alps

Tour du Grand Combin and soon ski touring in New Zealand

Iris just spent 6 days with Leysin friends Yves and Laila hiking around the magnificient mountain areas consisting of several Combin peaks, the highest over 4300 m. Saw stunning alpine flora and fauna, traversed a glacier, tasted food and wine in the Swiss and Italian huts and just loved this week long alpinism adventure in true European summer weather. A very rainy front is on the way through but Gary is still planing to climb the Bishorn tomorrow.
