We are enjoying the ski tour with Patrick! This was our first time, that we could ski touring in our life. Patrick was very helpful and kind, he told all necessary information about touring. We made a very nice route from El Peretol to Serrat Pinos. I recommend this program for other ski tourist in this area.
