Why Choose Ski Touring in the Alps?

Ski touring is the perfect way to reconnect with nature and explore the mountains at your own pace. Unlike traditional skiing, it combines the physical challenge of the ascent with the pure joy of skiing untouched powder on the descent. The Tarentaise Valley offers some of the most scenic and diverse backcountry terrain in Europe, making it an ideal destination for both novice and expert tourers alike.

Safety and Expertise Above All

With Tarentaise Tours, your safety is our priority. Our certified mountain guides are trained in avalanche awareness, route planning and mountain rescue. We provide all necessary safety equipment — including avalanche transceivers (DVA), shovels and probes — and offer tips to improve your knowledge of backcountry safety. You’ll learn the techniques to tour confidently while discovering some of the most beautiful alpine landscapes in Europe.

Combine Ski Touring with Other Adventures

For those seeking a varied experience, Tarentaise Tours also offers combined trips mixing ski touring with off-piste skiing or heli-skiing. These hybrid programs allow you to explore even more terrain and experience both the effort of the climb and the thrill of flight or freeride. Each adventure is fully customized to offer the perfect balance between challenge, fun and comfort.

I am new to ski touring. Can I join one of your outings?

This is entirely possible for a private outing with a guide, which is the best way to learn the technique and progress quickly.

If you are in an organized group, make sure that all your outing partners are at the same level or are aware of your beginner level, as the guide will have to plan the outing according to the level of the least technically skilled person for safety reasons.
