An Inspiring Ski Touring Experience

5.00We attended a ski touring course and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Everything was well organized and thoughtfully structured, but what really made the course outstanding was our instructor, Igor. Igor was exceptional in the way he shared his knowledge — very systematic, clear, and at the same time genuinely passionate. He explained concepts in a way that was easy to understand, always supported by practical, real-life examples. You could truly feel that he was personally invested in making sure we, as participants, walked away with useful, applicable skills, not just theory. His energy, dedication, and authentic care for the group made a huge difference and created a motivating and enjoyable learning environment. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn ski touring properly and confidently.
Great experience

5.00In addition to the excellent weather and snow conditions, the key element is the guidance. Grega provides just the right amount of support and encouragement when you have moments of doubt. His motivation is truly welcome. The best moment? Taking off your ski boots after the tour and sinking into the feeling of endless satisfaction. That’s the moment when you know you’ve overcome the challenge and enjoyed nature, skiing, and always excellent company. For anyone looking to try out backcountry skiing or seeking a great course, I highly recommend Kofler Sport. With experts like Grega, your experience will definitely be unforgettable!
