WOMEN ONLY – Intro Couloir & Steeps

More women in the mountains!

Women only, girls only, ladies only – whatever! Women often learn and grow best in an all-female group ‘without men’. Together with like-minded women, you can improve your skills, push yourself to new limits and boost your self-confidence.

Do you spend a lot of time in alpine terrain and want to venture out of the ordinary and into adventure terrain? Whether it’s short scrambles or abseiling into a gully/couloir – techniques like these not only open up access to untouched snow, but also make the adventure itself unique.

Flurina Bieger also shares this fascination. Having grown up in Disentis, she loves discovering exciting lines away from the crowds. Together with a mountain guide, she will accompany you on your adventure in an all-female group!
