Ski touring and ski mountaineering courses in Chamonix

Ski touring gives you the freedom to escape the lifts and crowded resorts and unlocks the gateway to the magical Alpine backcountry. Our guides will share their passion for ski touring with you and take you riding through untracked valleys and snow-covered forests… Whether you are an inquisitive first timer or seasoned skinner, our ski touring courses are designed to improve both your touring techniques and your off-piste skiing, as well as help you to discover the endless backcountry ski possibilities around the Chamonix Valley.

Beginner

You have experience backcountry or side country skiing/ snowboarding. You can descend in various snow types, without falling (excessively…) or stopping. You’re comfortable on slopes up to 35°. You have little or no ski touring experience.

Intermediate

You are a confident off-piste skier in all snow conditions. You’re comfortable on slopes of up to 35°. You have practiced companion rescue, and are familiar with basic traveling methods in avalanche-prone terrain. You have already done some ski touring, and are somewhat familiar with the equipment and the techniques used (skins, touring bindings, ski crampons, kick turns).

Advanced

You regularly practice backcountry skiing and have a solid repetoire. You ski confidently in all types of backcountry snow, and are comfortable in couloirs (gullies) up to 35°. You’d like to improve by learning the methods of ski alpinism – climbing couloirs with an ice axe and crampons – skis on the backpack, skiing longer and more committing itineraries.
