Description

Are you a little tired of ski resorts and ski lifts?
Do you want to go somewhere else, to eat a fondue on the top of a mountain, to make your own tracks on the way up but also on the way down?
Then ski touring is for you!
You don't need to be a downhill ski champion to try it, you just need to be able to ski everywhere, have a taste for effort and open your eyes wide for maximum pleasure.

This ski touring day taking place in the Hautes-Alpes is done in small groups of 5 persons maximum. It is also accessible to families (for teenagers from 12 years old). This is for more safety and conviviality.

I propose you to follow my tracks for an immersion in the winter mountains and to live a beautiful day off the beaten track, far from everything, for a unique experience.

Other dates and formulas are possible throughout the winter on request, please ask me if you are interested.

If you feel like short climbs and beautiful descents, I also propose a freerando ski weekend in the Hautes-Alpes. And if you like this activity and you practice it regularly, why not let yourself be tempted by a ski touring trip in Finnmark, Norway?
