Ski Touring or Off-Piste Skiing: Route and information
There is no single itinerary — that is exactly what makes a day à la carte so rich. The meeting point, the area and the objective are all chosen with your guide according to the weather, the snow conditions and your level.
Ski touring
You climb on skins, at your own pace, away from the lifts (or from the top of them), to reach a summit or a fine bowl. The reward: a descent in untracked snow, chosen to offer the best conditions of the day. The Mont-Blanc massif and its neighbouring valleys are full of itineraries, from the most accessible to the most committing.
Off-piste skiing
Starting from the ski lifts, your guide takes you to find the best snow away from the marked runs, managing the route and the risks. Ideal for tasting off-piste safely and progressing quickly.
Every outing is built to measure. Curious beginner or seasoned skier chasing untracked slopes: the programme adjusts to you.
Note: The route, distances and altitudes may vary depending on snow, weather and terrain conditions, as well as the group’s ability. The final choice of route is always at the guide’s discretion.

⛷️ What is the difficulty and the level required for a day of ski touring?
There is no required level: our guides accompany you and adapt to your group’s level. One thing to keep in mind — the group’s level is that of the least comfortable person in it.
❄️ When can you go ski touring?
Depending on snow cover, skiing with one of our experts is possible throughout the winter season. Book as early as you can, especially during school holidays and weekends, as these are periods of high demand.
🏂 What if I snowboard?
That is entirely possible: you simply need to have, or rent, a splitboard. If you are a group made up only of snowboarders, let us know: we can arrange snowboard guiding if needed. And if you are the only snowboarder in the group, the itinerary will be adapted to suit everyone.
