BACKCOUNTRY AT (alpine touring), Randonee, ski touring, split boards.
Ever dreamed of getting into the backcountry on skis or a board? The hot topic in ski magazines and once the domain of prefessional skiers only, backcountry skiing is now accessible to a wider range of enthusiasts. Head away from the crowds and into the wilderness. We will kit you up with all the gear you need and a local, experienced guide will make sure that your trip is safe and absolutely unforgettable.
Backcountry skiers use specialized ski bindings that unclip at the heel for travelling up the mountain, with boots that flex at the fore foot and skins attached to the bottom of the ski to maintain grip. Boarders use a unique snowboard called a split board that comes apart to be used like skis for uphill travel and clips back together to be ridden as a regular board when heading down again.
This adventure suits all skiers or boarders with intermediate or above skills and a moderate degree of fitness.
