Description

The Tarentaise valley in the French Alps offers some remarkable skiing. The slopes are great, and present some amazing descents, especially near the areas of Val d’Isere and Tignes.

On this full day trip, which can be extended to more days if you wish, I will take you to some of the best skiing areas in the entire Tarentaise valley. This will be a Freerando trip, which is a hybrid between off-piste skiing and ski touring. It is not quite off-piste skiing because we will be venturing further away from the resort areas than typical off-piste skiing trips. I like to do this so we can get away from the crowds and explore the more isolated spots. However, unlike most ski touring trips, we will be using the available ski lifts at times so we can avoid having to skin high up in the mountains. Thus allowing you to save time and energy that can be put toward some great skiing!

There is a wonderful variety of places to ski in the Tarentaise valley. They include Les Arcs, La Plagne, Sainte Foy, La Rosiere, La Thuile, Les 3 Vallees, and many more. With an assortment like that, you can rest assured that I will help you find the perfect spot. The variety also insures that there are powdered slopes for skiers of every level, from expert to intermediate.

When it comes to the descents, there is also a wide variety. They include the Col des Montets, the Col de la Galise, the Croix du Pisset, the Col de la Grassaz, and many more.

The Tarentaise valley is a fantastic place for skiing. And if you would like to experience it for yourself, all you have to do is send me a request.

Are you looking for a different kind of adventure in the Val d’Isere and Tignes area? If so, why not try ice climbing?

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
