Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need to have previous off-piste skiing experience for ski touring?

 

Do I need to have previous off-piste skiing experience for ski touring? While prior off-piste experience is helpful, it’s not required. Ski touring is accessible for intermediate skiers, as long as you’re comfortable with basic skiing techniques. Our guides will tailor the experience to your skill level, ensuring you progress safely and enjoyably.

What equipment do I need for ski touring?

You’ll need skis with bindings, climbing skins, avalanche safety gear (transceiver, shovel, probe, and airbag), and a backpack. If you don’t have your own equipment, rentals are available, and our guides will ensure you’re properly outfitted before heading out.

 

How fit do I need to be for ski touring?

Ski touring requires a good level of fitness, especially for the uphill climbs. If you’re not accustomed to walking uphill, we recommend building your stamina before the trip. Our guides will ensure the routes are suited to your fitness level, and you can take breaks as needed.

What happens if the weather or snow conditions aren’t ideal?

 

What happens if the weather or snow conditions aren’t ideal? We are experts at reading the conditions and adapting plans accordingly. If the weather or snow conditions aren’t ideal for the planned route, we’ll find the best alternative terrain to ensure we make the most of your experience.

How long are ski touring sessions?

We offer flexible options ranging from half-day to full-day sessions. Half-day sessions typically last 3-4 hours, while full-day sessions can last 6-8 hours, depending on the route and conditions. You can choose a session length that suits your preferences and fitness level.
