Guided Ski Touring across the Alps
|
Ski touring is one of the best ways to slow down and really enjoy the mountains in winter. Away from the lifts and crowds, we'll climb at our own pace, take in the views, and earn our turns with descents that feel all the more rewarding. Around Chamonix there are endless options, from gentle introductory tours to bigger alpine adventures, or we can head further afield, linking huts together for a multi-day tour.
If you’ve only got a day, there are plenty of tours that start and finish in the valley, giving you a taste of the touring experience without the need to pack for an overnight. And if you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, hut-to-hut tours open up a whole new side of the Alps — staying in mountain refuges, linking valleys together, and waking up each morning ready to set off again. |

Hut-to-hut tours offer endless possibilities; classic routes such as the Haute Route, ski 4000m giants around Monte Rosa, or find fresh turns in the quieter corners of the Alps. Whether you have a route in mind, or you want to go wherever the conditions are best, get in touch to start planning your adventure.

WHERE SHOULD I BASE MYSELF?
Chamonix is the perfect base for day touring, and gives us access to routes suitable for all abilities. For hut-to-hut tours accommodation will depend on what you want to do and where you want to go. Get in touch to let us know your plan and for more information.
WHEN CAN I go ski touring?
It's always conditions dependent, but the ski touring season usually lasts from February to May.
WHAT EXPERIENCE DO I NEED?
To make the most of your time here you should be confident skiing red runs in variable snow and in good style. You should also have good physical fitness to be able to ski long runs in variable conditions and on back to back days. A good gauge of fitness is being able to walk uphill at a minimum ascent rate of 300m per hour with your pack.
