For high-alpine ski tours we recommend a mountain guide for less experiences ski mountaineers! Glaciers can only be crossed with a rope and in a group. Before you start your tour you should tell somebody in the valley of your destination and your expected return time. Before starting a tour you should always keep informed about the present avalanche and snow situation!
