Off-PistePowderSki&Mountain Adventure,Grindelwald
Five night ski and mountain adventure designed for advanced and expert skiers seeking an off-piste thrill
Did you know that back in 1985, the idea for the 'Powder Byrne' name came from the 'burning' sensation you get in your legs when skiing 'powder' snow?
Whilst this may or may not be true, Powder Byrne certainly does have roots deep in the powder snow of Grindelwald and the heart of the Jungfrau region.
Our exclusive ski adventure is perfect for avid skiers looking for an adrenaline-packed long weekend full of ski touring, unique mountain experiences, good food and great company this winter season.
Staying in Grindelwald at a four-star superior hotel, we invite you to join us for five nights hosted by Powder Byrne showcasing the very best of all mountain skiing and together searching for the perfect powder runs in Switzerland.
Your Powder Byrne ski host and Mountain Guide will meet you for an early start at your hotel for the first lifts to the Grindelwald-First area of the mountains. After a few warmup runs, we start our search for the best powder and off-piste runs around the Schwarzhorn and the Faulhorn withpeaksover2,900m.
After a hard day skiing into the early evening, we finish at a Mountain Hut for a traditional Swiss dinner and drinks beforethefinalskirunbacktotownwithtorchlights.

After two long days of powder skiing, we understand your legs may be feeling some strain, however, you are still eager for a mountain adventure.
After an enjoyable breakfast at your hotel, your Powder Byrne ski host will drive you to Grund to meet our Mountain Guide and travel up to the legendary Eiger north face. Whilst perched at an altitude of 2,000m at Stollenloch in the north face, with climbing gear and harnesses, we will sip hot beverages over the outstanding views below. For the bravest, you can abseil down the north face for a once-in-a-lifetime climbing experience.
After learning about the famous north face, we journey higher to the top of Europe, the Jungfraujoch. After a short briefing, you will receive your snow shoes and harnesses and we venture out over the crevasse of the glacier for an out-of-this-world experience.
