With routes from the best sources Skida makes it easier to find the safer alternatives. Our published routes has undergone mountain professional evaluation, both in the mountain and in the map. When we receive the track from the guide, avlanche instructor or other profession, we analyze it with our high resoultion elevation model. This gives you the best, objective insights of the terrain of the route.


At Skida, we gather ski touring routes from trusted sources and make them available in one place—complete with detailed avalanche maps, slope angle maps, and weather forecasts.
