Les Contamines and Megève guided ski touring

Ski touring means freedom and fun in wild places. Many think this winter/spring activity is not accessible for skiing amateurs. They are wrong! Be guided by a professional and live a unique experience away from the crowd, in Les Contamines or Megève.

You can go ski touring for ½ or a full day with one of our local guides. The program and itinerary will be defined based on your experience. If you are a beginner, a ½ day could be a good start in order to get the basics and learn how to use the ski touring equipment. For the more experienced ski tourers, you’ll be leaving for the day and explore the wild places of the mountain range.

Several ski tour options are possible. These will depend on the time you have, your experience, and the weather/snow conditions. You’ll find some suggestions here below.

Guided ski touring day in Les Contamines

You won’t have much positive gain and you’ll enjoy some nice downhill skiing. We will take the ski lift in the Village of Les Contamines. From the top of Roselette ski lift (2115m), we will start skiing down towards south, at the foot of l’Aiguille de Roselette. From there, we will put on skins to go up to Le Col de la Cicle (2377m) or Col de la Fenêtre. We will ski down on la Balme and le Nant Borrant (1452m).

Guided ski touring day in Megève

This day is ideal to get started with ski touring and enjoy breathtaking views. We will start either from Jaillet, either from Combloux from where we take the ski lift. We will put the skins and go up to Petite Croisse Baulet at 2000 meters high. The itinerary goes through forests and glades.  The higher we go the more beautiful the views are. From the summit, we can go to Grand Croisse Baulet (2300m) for an additional 1 ½ hour with no additional technical challenges. We will have an amazing skiing itinerary down to Gietaz (1200m). We will get back to the starting point, either with the ski lift, either going off-piste skiing. It’s a great ski touring program that can be adapted based on the level of the participants.
