Programme
Using your ski touring equipment (skis and boots), we’ll go over the basics of the sport on the piste, free from any constraints: gentle slopes, groomed snow, no obstacles…
Then, after a packed lunch, we’ll put it all into practice on a variety of fun off-piste routes.
- Meet at 9.00 am outside the esf in Crévoux.
- First meeting with your instructor (don’t worry if he seems a bit gruff at first… he’s actually really friendly!)
- A refresher on the basics on easy runs,
- a picnic in the great outdoors,
- off-piste routes,
- End of the day at 5.30 pm… time for a drink?!
