Description

All along winter, I propose you ski touring outings in Haute-Savoie, starting from Annecy or the surrounding resorts (le Grand-Bornand, la Clusaz, etc.).

On the program of the day:

  • discovery of the ski touring equipment,
  • use of theavalanche beacon,
  • easy climbing (on paths or in mountain pastures),
  • progression techniques (making conversions, use of climbing wedges, etc.)
  • and a panoramic summit!

The descent route is generally done according to the choice of the participants.

If you already have some experience in the activity, I also offer advanced ski touring trips in Savoie Mont Blanc.

You can also come and work on your downhill technique during an off-piste and freeride skiing session, still in Haute-Savoie, or during a ski touring and off-piste skiing weekend in the Aravis or Bauges mountains.
