Ski touring or ski mountaineering is THE most popular winter sport currently. Combining skiing and high-intensity sports activity, and a unique, exceptional feeling of freedom, it draws more and more skiers. With its virgin alpine pasture snowfields, our resort is particularly suitable for learning this sport. From Bottières to Grand Turc, or along Ouillon ridges, as shown in the photo above, ski touring is a flagship activity in our resort.

Further evidence of this is that three of the best ski mountaineers in the world are natives of the resort, and train regularly in our mountains…

This physically demanding sport can be learned like all other sports. It requires knowledge of your equipment, of the environment in which you practice, and some tips to quickly find pleasure in doing the sport. Check the weather before leaving, carry a DVA, a shovel and a probe, as well as a means of alerting rescue, together with a map or GPS device to be on the safe side.
