Alpine ski-touring is the perfect way to enjoy the mountains throughout the spring, giving the freedom to travel anywhere quickly and efficiently when deep snow makes walking impossible. It appeals to keen skiers who want to escape lift queues and crowded pistes to ski off-piste on the pristine snow of the higher mountains, and also to mountaineers (with some ski experience) who want to gain new skills and add a new dimension to their mountain activities.

We will focus on:

• ski-touring equipment
• ski-touring skills - use of touring bindings and all aspects of using skins for ski touring - including general care and carrying of the skins, most effective methods for fitting skins on to skis, walking on ski-tour skies
• mastering off-piste skiing technique
• assessment of avalanche risk by examining the snow pack, the use of avalanche transceivers
• how to rescue an avalanched victim
• basic navigation in extreme conditions

We offer both one-day and multi-day courses, depends on what You prefer.
