Ski touring in the Hautes-Alpes

Description

From an introduction to ski touring techniques to the discovery of hidden spots, we will spend a day skiing between larch trees and wide open spaces for maximum pleasure. Adaptation to the level of each person is of course essential to guarantee this pleasure.

We will (re)see the use of the famous triptych avalanche beacon (detector of victims of avalanches), shovel and probe necessary to the practice of ski touring in order to know all the subtleties and thus to allow all the learning of the safety in snowy environment.

This day will take place in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes department, potentially in the south of the Écrins massif, maybe in the Queyras or Ubaye mountains, but the exact location will be determined according to the weather and snow conditions.

If you are in the mood for a winter activity but the snow conditions are not optimal, it is also possible to spend a nice day of ice climbing in the Hautes-Alpes.
