Ski Touring Weekend in Chamonix, 2-Day Introductory Level Course

Dive head first into the world of ski touring and take a guided crash course in the spectacular Alps! Learn the fundamentals of backcountry skiing on a program designed to prepare you for a world of off-piste adventures in some of the most notorious and iconic destinations!

When it comes to discovering a new place or landscape, nothing quite compares with ski touring through a winter wonderland. In Chamonix, where the terrain was built for high-flying ski courses and top-quality snow runs, you can spend a lifetime getting lost in the scenic community that is built around winter sports and catering to its athletes.

Your program does exactly this, breaking down an extensive program into a two-day course that teaches you everything you need to know about ski touring. While enjoying two full days of epic runs and delectable snow, you will also focus on practical instruction, skin use and application, and safety procedures that prepare you to face the challenges and adventures waiting in the backcountry.

This program will give you insight into hut-to-hut ski tours, a classic aspect of skiing in the Alps. It will also school you in avalanche awareness, differences in off-piste terrain, using ice axes, crampons, and mountaineering equipment, safe glacial traversing, and so much more. Over the course of a weekend, you will rapidly improve your strengths and abilities on the mountain by taking this course.

The timing of the program couldn’t be better, as the snow-pack in January is some of the season’s best. Tree skiing and navigation are just some of the perks of the program, gearing you towards an all-encompassing education that covers every facet of the ski touring experience.

Getting you into the remote areas of this high-caliber skiing destination is my specialty – and my honor. I will make sure you have the time of your life in a safe and controlled environment, even in the most secluded areas of the Chamonix Valley. You can even spend a night in a mountain hut to complete your true Alpine skiing experience.

A little bit of off-piste experience, the necessary skill and comfort to ski safely, and the ability to manage backcountry terrain are all vital to your success on this program. You should be in good shape, as ski touring can be a physically demanding affair, and you should also be prepared for the hazards and risks associated with heading into the backcountry where there is limited access.

Book this two-day introductory program IMMEDIATELY and give yourself the gift of the Alps – learning to ski tour in Chamonix is an unforgettable experience that you will never forget!

You can also take an introductory five-day Alpine mountaineering course in Chamonix, or even a three-day mountaineering course to the summit of Gran Paradiso!
