BASS SymbolSki Safari from Verbier to Zermatt

We are constantly introducing new and innovative courses and this coming season we have a unique and very exciting opportunity to do a ski safari from Verbier to Zermatt.

If you like the idea of making a journey in the mountains, but feel that ski touring might be a bit tough for you, then a ski safari could be just what you are looking for. Essentially the aim is to travel a long distance, but by careful route planning use as many lifts as possible to minimise the amount of skinning uphill you have to do. Some have reffered to it as touring without tears.
