| Hi guys,
I am also looking for a ski club in Zürich - the goal is to learn skitouring. My German is also bad, and I have to say I'm a slow learner for sport  but I try hard...
Anynews on the Uto club front? You guys met some people there? How is it with limited German and very limited Schwitzertüüütsch?
And... if "beginners" tours are not for beginners, are the Schnuppertours good for beginners? I mean normally fit beginners... I can't run a marathon.
Thks for any feedbacK!

Hi Celine
I've done a tour with
www.bergpunkt.ch last year and liked it a lot. I took the basis course (4 days) as I was a beginner as well and I guess the main issue is not the knowledge but the condition to get up the hill
(and you need to be a reasonably good skiier). The guide teached us everything from how to use the LSV on to how to rescue someone in an avalanche. I'm not sure though how it compares with the UTO program. I don't think that the language is a big issue as most of the time you will be "walking" uphill. For explanations there will surely (maybe even the guide) be someone who translates. You should ask before you book.
