Valais is home to 45 peaks higher than 4,000 metres, which provide a spectacular backdrop to an incomparable playground for winter sports enthusiasts.

This is regularly the setting for ski touring world championships as well as the world’s toughest ski touring race, the Patrouille des Glaciers. The discipline of ski touring is enjoying tremendous growth in popularity: ascents across pristine white landscapes and thrilling descents over untouched fields of powder snow promise a boundless sense of freedom.
