Ski mountaineering in Queyras or Ubaye (Hautes-Alpes)

Description

Throughout the winter, I offer ski touring and easy mountaineering outings in the Hautes-Alpes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence departments.

During these days taking plae in the Queyras, Ubaye or southern Écrins massifs, you will evolve on slopes or passages with inclines of up to 45 degrees, both on the way up and on the way down.

A good downhill skiing technique is a must.

We will also look at how to search for multiple victims using an avalanche beacon, how to organize a rescue, and/or how to map and orientate using Iphigénie or AlpineQuest apps on your smartphone.

For less technical outings, I also offer ski touring improvement days in the Hautes-Alpes, and, to immerse yourself in the mountains a little more, I recommend this 3-day ski touring mini raid in the Queyras, Ubaye or southern Écrins.

You can also come and work specifically on your downhill technique during a freeride ski session in Val Thorens, Savoie.
