Ski touring discovery day in the Hautes-Alpes

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, in the Queyras, Cerces or Écrins massifs.

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 day or a weekend dedicated to freetour skiing 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?

Finally, if you feel the need to improve your autonomy in the practice of the activity, I recommend this snow / avalanche training day which takes place in Vars.
