The Uri Haute Route can also be linked to other huts. So the difficulties of the daily sections can be adjusted downwards or upwards.

Technical requirements
Very good skiing technique off piste up to moderately steep terrain 35-40°. You can get down everywhere; if not with easy turns, then with sliding sideways… you will not be judged by style.

Ascents up to 1500vm with skins are fun, as long as the descent is worth it! Also short, steep portages (carrying skis on the backpack) are more fun than scary.

You can ascend with ski crampons on a track even if it is a hard in parts. You have practiced the kick turns beforehand and can get around the corners without falling.

Mental & physical requirements

To stand on the skis every day is more exhausting than to do a day tour with 1500m. Even if on the normal Urner Haute Route there are less altitude meters to manage. Prepare yourself well for the touring days with regular training and tours. So the whole thing is much more fun for you. The UHR is technically more demanding than the big classic Chamonix-Zermatt. Alpine technical knowledge is an advantage, but not mandatory.
Basic experience with avalanche beacon, probe, shovel and avalanche prevention would be desirable.
