In a few words

You already have some experience in ski touring and want to be better equipped to organize your outings. You would particularly like to better prepare your trips (choosing routes, gathering information to understand snow and weather conditions, identifying personal and group expectations during the outing, etc.), and share your questions about key decision-making situations in the field with other skiers. You will also be prepared for potential critical situations (contacting emergency services, searching for avalanche victims). All of this will take place under the guidance of a qualified instructor who will listen to your feedback and personalize the training according to your future ski touring plans. These three intensive days of hands-on training will also be an opportunity to enjoy three outings in the Aosta Valley , a region of exceptional beauty.

The highlights

  • An experienced trainer who adapts the training to your needs and projects
  • Training in avalanche response protocols, including calling for help
  • A collaborative and enriching approach with participants and guides
