Each winter you more and more to want to try touring : either daytours around Espace Killy, or from hut to hut in the Alps.
The last step of this activity is really travelling in other exotic countries, in different parts of the world. Then, the target isn't anymore just skiing, but sharing a convivial moment and discovering a different culture.
More than a job, we propose you a part of our way of life, and as I said sooner, we are vey happy to see that you appreciate it and we thank all of you for that.

Around Val d'Isere!

Close to the world's biggest ski resorts, the Vanoise massif, France's first National Park, remains relatively unfrequented in winter. This is an ideal area for an introduction to ski touring with, nevertheless several summits providing spectacular tours, e.g. l'Albaron or la Grande Casse. Furthermore, in the numerous comfortable mountain huts, there will be a warm welcome waiting for you!

For each of these tours, we devote one day for skiing around Espace Killy, in order to warm up and to check the equipment.
