Ski touring discovery
Ski touring discovery: freedom and open spaces, it is wrongly considered inaccessible to neophytes. Supervised by passionate professionals, let yourself guide into a new experience.
Our guides have made a custom half-day ski tour initiation ! This half-day is for beginners who want to get acquainted with the equipment. A first step towards autonomy!
For the most experienced we leave on the beautiful slopes of Contamines or Combloux for the descent of the Col de la Cicle or Croisse Baulet.
