Ski Mountaineering and Ski Touring Holidays
Ski Touring and Ski Mountaineering (involves more alpinism) are both incredible ways to explore the snow covered peaks of the Southern French Alps.
You don't have to be an expert skier to enjoy ski touring or ski mountaineering - all you need is a reasonable level of fitness and a passion for the mountains.
Have a look at our
ski mountaineering and ski touring in the Southern Alps photo collection.
The Southern French Alps are a perfect area for ski touring and ski mountaineering as there are a huge variety of routes, from technical long distance high mountain traverses including the Tour des Ecrins to short day trips on easy slopes, plus of course the advantage of the best sun record in the Alps!
So whether you are an experienced ski mountaineer looking for your next adventure or a beginner ski tourer who would like a little taster of what its all about, we can organise a trip for you.
We are currently putting together a portfolio of popular trips including the Tour des Ecrins for more experienced ski mountaineers and ski tourers. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us and we can send you details directly or tailor make you a trip. We can even advertise your dates if you need to find people to join your group.
Before embarking on some of the more technically challenging or long distance routes like the Tour des Ecrins, we strongly recommend you come on our
Introductory Ski Touring Week.
All the guides we use are fully qualified UIAGM high mountain guides who are local to the Southern French Alps. We don't take on any guide, just because they are qualified, we choose guides for their professionalism and friendliness as well!
All our ski touring and ski mountaineering holidays include:
7 nights accommodation in a choice of self catering, bed and breakfast or half board accommodation with some nights in mountain refuges.
ski touring equipment (skis, skins, ski crampons, poles, harnesses (where necessary), shovel, probe)
lift passes (where necessary)
avalanche tranceivers
guide fee
local transport to and from ski tours
Return transfers from Gap train station to your accommodation.
We can also help with your travel arrangements for getting here from the UK by rail or plane so you can take advantage of the free transfer from Gap train station. For more information, please have a look at our
how to get here page.
If none of our offers suit you or you would like to mix and match ski touring with a few days piste skiing or other winter activities, please let us know when you make your
enquiry and we'll tailor make you a perfect winter activity holiday.
