Silvretta Guides: Frequently Asked Questions

Who should book it?

Silvretta Guides suits skiers who already handle red pistes and want off-piste or touring days in the Silvretta, rather than families looking for a six-day beginner course.

Is avalanche equipment provided?

Freeride and touring days with Silvretta Guides require a transceiver, shovel and probe; ask at booking whether the set is included or rented separately, and confirm before the meeting time.

How does it compare with the main Ischgl school?

Silvretta Guides has a smaller team and a guiding focus, while the resort's larger school covers the bulk of structured group courses. Both operate in the 239 km cross-border area.

Can I ski to Switzerland on a guided day?

Yes. Silvretta Guides works in the Ischgl-Samnaun ski area, which crosses into Switzerland, so bring photo ID and expect duty-free stops in Samnaun.

When is availability tightest?

Guided powder days with Silvretta Guides sell out after storms and during the 26 December to 6 January period, so flexible dates or advance booking of six weeks or more helps.
