Description

Would you like to join a unique ski touring program in the French Alps? Then join us on this 3-day beginner ski touring adventure in Beaufortain!

Beaufortain is a stunning valley in the Savoie department in southeast France. This breathtaking spot is a top location for ski touring and will be our powder snow playground for the duration of our exciting 3-day program for beginners. 

In order to join this trip, you will need to have a red/black piste level in alpine skiing. Also, you will need to be able to carry out between 4 to 7 hours of skiing per day with a vertical drop of between 500m and 900m / D.

Every day we will follow a different program. On day 1, we will start by discussing expectations and ski experience. Then, we will begin with the basics during a first ascent to the refuge. In the afternoon, we will learn the use of safety equipment and then, if the weather allows, we will enjoy a short route around the refuge to reach the Grand Crétet. On day 2, we will learn conversion, skinning, effort management, initiation to snowmaking and mapping. Then we will enjoy ski touring in the loop around the Dzonfié / 700M D +. Finally, on day 3, we will head to the awe-inspiring summit of Quermoz / 500M D +.

So, are you ready for an exciting 3-day ski touring program in the Alps? Then book your place and join us!

We also offer a 5-day splitboarding and snowboarding program in Chamonix!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
