 Poster: A snowHead
|
I thought google was my friend, but apparently not.
Just wondering if any kind soul has thought / bothered to create a website which collates touring routes in the Alps? I can find several websites in German which all appear to be run pro bono, but nothing very helpful to me and my lack of German language skills (and no, I can't say that Google Translate is particularly helpful!).
I thought the Swiss Alpine Club might at least have something for Switzerland, but it appears not.
Any suggestions?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There are some books, search in Amazon books for "ski touring". I haven't used any myself. My ski touring has taken a back seat to skiing with mates and now kids! Hopefully I will get back into it someday. Also there is the Eagle Ski Club http://www.eagleskiclub.org.uk/ Again, I haven't hooked into this as yet but as I understand it the members organise their own trips.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

thanks Layne.
That camptocamp wesbite recommended by Arno is pretty good - worth a butchers, for sure.

summitpost.org although mainly climbing based also has some info. This season I've been using that and camptocamp which although primarily French does a mini translation of the routes and attempts full translations of some (useful if like me you're ok with the French apart from the odd word).
skipass.com is completely French but can be worth a look for ideas.

The best book in English is the Bill O'Connor book from Cicerone press which presents clear descriptions of week long tours in the alps.
If you want to delve a little deeper try this site : - http://www.gps-tracks.com/mainEn.asp
You can get to maps that show the ski trails - but first you have to know what you're looking for! 
Try a search using Silvrettadurchquerung then look at the XXL-Photomap ....
