Beyond the many available off-piste descents, the area around Val d’Isère is rich in magnificent back country skiing itineraries only open to the skiers equipped with skins and ski touring gear.
A little effort and a short walk of under an hour already leaves the vast majority of skiers behind, and opens the way to wide virgin slopes for unforgettable mornings of skiing pleasure. Ski touring does not require extraordinary skiing ability nor physical fitness; after some technical coaching on the use of the equipment, the average skier can already enjoy superb touring.
I would be delighted to initiate you to the delights of ski touring, and share the joys of the mountains far from the ski lifts. Bigger children and teenagers welcome !
For the more experienced, we can choose longer day tours, as well as hut-to-hut tours sleeping in refuges. There are many refuges around Val d’Isère (Prariond, Carro, Sevettes, Averole..) from which we can also ski to the Italian valleys of the Val d’Aoste.
I will provide you with all the necessary safety material (airbag, shovel, probe, DVA beeper, harness when on glaciers) and advise you on the suitable ski gear if necessary.
I will take maximum 6 skiers with me in order to maximize the safety of the group. If you would come with more than 6 people, another guide will join us.
Ski touring in Val d'Isère can be combined with off-piste / freeride skiing days and even heliskiing. Please contact me to discuss your projects and aspirations, and we can define together an ad-hoc program.

Overall the experience was great - Xavier really knew the local area catered to everyones abilities in the group and offered some great advice. I would love to book another day trip (or maybe even a multi day trip!) with Xavier so I could experience some of the peace and quiet you get away from the piestes in the remote areas of the mountains. Would recommend to anyone that wants to explore the mountains away from the crowds.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
