Description

When we talk about freeride or off-piste skiing, Chamonix is a place that always comes to mind. During this trip, we will go the the beautiful Grands Montets, a large ski area near Chamonix with extraordinary landscapes.

In particular, this trip is great for beginners in off-piste skiing. An ideal initiation to this fantastic practice!

During this trip, we will cover how to:
– Progress off-piste
– Assess and manage the risks associated with this practice
– Use the transceiver, shovel and probe

Even though the minimum number of participants is 4, don't hesitate to register if you are alone. I will put groups together.

I had a great time climbing with Sebastien. He modified the trip because of the weather and was able to find dry rock on a wet day. Throughout the trip Sebastien not only provided plenty of climbing but also helped me on skills that I wanted to improve on.

It was my first ski touring experience in high montainous areas: it was just unique thanks notably to the way Sébastien managed us in a very professional way. He inspired confidence in our group while this was the very first time for three among us. Congrats.
