Whether you’re looking for a multi-day ski adventure across glaciers and high mountain passes or a scenic off-the-beaten-path route, the Compagnie des Guides de Saint-Gervais / Les Contamines offers a selection of world-class itineraries. Led by expert UIAGM-certified mountain guides, our treks guarantee an exhilarating experience in some of the most spectacular landscapes of the Mont Blanc region and the rest of the Alps.

What is a Ski Touring Trek?

A ski touring trek is a multi-day journey through remote alpine terrain, combining ski touring ascents and thrilling descents in untouched snow. Unlike resort skiing, these treks allow you to explore wild, high-altitude environments, away from the crowds.

Our routes are designed for different skill levels, from intermediate skiers looking for their first multi-day adventure to advanced skiers eager to push their limits on technical routes.
