#Huskymountaineering Skitour Iceclimbing Husky Lechtal Tyrol

Professional Mountain Guiding (IVBV, IFMGA, UIAGM) in Combination with a Team of Siberian Huskies

This is unique. The reason for this uniqueness lies in the elaborate keeping of the animals combined with the 100% integration of the animals into the professional everyday life of a Ski- und Bergführers (IVBV, UIAGM, IFMGA).

We have developed many routines so that our teams can reliably and safely do their job both on skitour and on ascents to alpine iceclimbing.

The huskies run exclusively inline – i.e. not in pairs – as is usual with classic sledding. This is simply because there are no wide tracks in alpine terrain. But only the trail that has been prepared with skis.

Accordingly, we have not only developed a suitable leash, but the animals have learned to run in switchbacks and are very experienced due to over 100 skitouren per winter and master the commands.

In deep snow, the huskies are allowed to run down the mountain off-leash all winter long. Since huskies have a very pronounced and original hunting instinct, this is anything but self-evident. Routine makes the difference.

And this routine is rewarded daily with fresh meat, which creates a very high bond of the animals to the regulated and familiar process.

With our huskies, skitouren can also be undertaken in the long valleys of the Lechtal and Allgäu Alps to remote peaks and icefalls, where the slopes usually remain untracked.

DAY 1
Arrival, get-together, evening get-to-know in our kennel including information about the nature and handling of the animals, cuddling and stroking

DAY 2 + following
Here we go.

Our huskies are not only a means to an end, which is to get up into the mountains faster. They are unique companions with a very special energy that they give us. And this energy consists of

• Motivation
• Trust
• Joy and dedication

With this energy, they help us to climb into the most remote and wonderfully lonely valleys and ski untracked slopes or climb icefalls in an alpine setting.
