Description
Join me in this magnificent ski touring trip in the Beaufortain during 4 days. The Beaufortain is a paradise for ski tourers, due in part to its exceptional snow. It is located between the Mont Blanc and Vanoise.
For your comfort, we will sleep every night in the same location, either in a hotel or a lodge. This is the ideal massif to acquire basic ski touring techniques.
Indeed, we will use the convenient lifts of Arêches en Beaufort. We will do nice off-pistes before reaching beautiful summits with amazing views of Mont Blanc.
During this tour you will learn how to: progress in ski touring, use the shovel, probe and transceiver, and assess and manage the risks of the practice.

What people are saying about Sébastien
Mairi
Our trip in the Silvretta with Sebastien was fantastic. Sebastien used many opportunities to teach us about a variety of skiing and mountain techniques during our tour. If there was good snow to be found, Seb would find it for us. We had a few concerns about his communication prior to the tour, but this was not a reflection of the wealth of experience, wisdom and knowledge that was apparent as soon as we met with him.
