Ski Safari Verbier to Zermatt
27th February to 5th March 2010.
If you like the idea of making a journey in the mountains, but feel that ski touring might be bit too tough for you, then a Ski Safari could be just what you’re looking for. Essentially the aim is to travel a long distance, but by careful route planning use as many lifts as possible to minimise the amount of skinning uphill you have to do. Some have even referred to it as “Touring without tears”.
