Would you like to try something other than typical skiing trips? Would you like to cut across the mountains and end your day with a delicious locally prepared meal at a mountain hut at an altitude of 3,000 metres?

In that case ski touring is an out-and-out must for you! Albeit a physically exerting activity, being the first to mark the pure snow slopes is reward enough for any fatigue you may feel.

Your expert guide Sebastien will help you improve your ski-touring techniques in glacial and non-glacial terrains.

This long distance trek is tailor-made for you, whether you would like to go to the famous area of Haute-Route Chamonix – Zermatt, Queyras or Chamonix, La Clusaz.

The slopes are never the same and there is no across the board method that can be adopted for these natural sloping playgrounds, which is why all participants must have at least a little experience in backcountry skiing.

Groups are limited to 4 people maximum, enabling Sebastien to provide you with as much tailor-made advice and guidance as possible.

Learn a different facet of exploring the mountains!
