More info
A good off-piste skiing level and previous ski touring experience are required.
Open weeks are organized by physical and technical level, so participants ski with others of similar ability. If you are unsure whether this trip is suitable for you, contact us and we will help assess your level.
For skiers looking for steeper terrain, more remote objectives, or a bigger challenge, we recommend booking as a private group, ideally with at least 4 participants, and reserving a cabin exclusively for your group.
The final itinerary will always depend on weather and snow conditions and can be adapted to the group’s level and goals.
Individual travelers can join open groups at no extra cost. Private cabin bookings are also available for groups of friends looking for an exclusive experience.

What people are saying about B4Experience
Awesome week!! The place, the company, and Núria who gives off such great vibes!!!!
Brutal experience!
An incredible experience led by Nuria Picas, who was excellent in her sporting skills and also demonstrated great knowledge of Montblanc.
100% Recommended! A week-long experience with a group of 15 mountain enthusiasts, led by world-renowned expert Nuria Picas, who stands out not only for her professionalism and talent but also for her warmth and personal touch. She fostered a fantastic atmosphere within the group, making all participants feel included. This activity is highly recommended, both for exploring the Tour du Mont Blanc and for preparing for the UTMB race, as well as for disconnecting for a few days, meeting people with similar interests, and learning from others, which is always incredibly enriching. Special mention must be made of the warm and friendly service from the entire b4experience team, who ensured we had everything we needed so we could focus solely on running and enjoying each day.
The best experience of my life. Superbly organized, Núria Picas gets a 10/10, 100% recommended.
