Day 1:
Arrival Day in Innsbruck
We highly recommend planning your inbound travel so that you arrive in Innsbruck by early afternoon. This is especially important if you need to rent ski touring equipment from our local rental shop supplier. You’ll need time to collect any rental equipment before the evening briefing, which is essential for a smooth start to your adventure. There is limited time the following morning to rent items as you will be departing for the mountains straight after breakfast.
You will meet with your guide for a briefing in the evening at approximately 18:00 to go through the plan for the week as well as the current weather and mountain conditions. Here you will have a chance to go through your kit under the experienced eye of your guide and can ask any questions that you may have. Dinner will follow and then it's time for a good night sleep!

Ischgl to Heidelberger Hut
Transport to Ischgl (1hr15mins) take the lift system and descend to the Heidelberger hut, which is located just across the border in Switzerland.
