Level:

Ski touring is without doubt one of the most subtle of mountain activities. If you are not fazed by a few hours of skinning up hill followed by off-piste descents you have given yourself the key to access the secret kingdoms of the high mountains. Have no doubts that your efforts will be justly rewarded.
With touring skis and skins you will be allowed the opportunity to escape the sprawling lift systems and braying masses in order to rediscover the majesty and solitude of the high mountains.
From the initial organisation and set up of your chosen tour, be it a mini 3 days tour or the Haute Route, the Ski Sensations high Mmountain guides will be there to advise and share the experience. They will allow you to access the full range of experiences and sensations that can be obtained through ski touring and spice it up a little more through there own personal passions for the mountains.

Ski Touring Options

Short tours:
The Alps offers numerous options to satisfy the need from getting away from the crowds for a few day. A number of options are available in the Massif du Mont Blanc, Massif de Vanoise, around the Hospice de Grand Saint Bernard, and in the Oberland and Silvretta regions. Short tours generally involve staying in mountain huts or refuges for at least one night. Consult us for prices and informations.

Well Known Routes:
The Haute Route, from Chamonix to Zermatt, or touring in the Monte Rosa are tours that everyone aspires to. Have a look on special pages.

Day Tours - Introduction to Touring:
Day tours are always adapted to the technical level of the skiers and their fitness. Generally for days tours setting out from Chamonix we use the lift system to reach the higher levels and then set out from altitude. This avoids too much walking initially and so leaves more time for the off-piste descents.
Suggestions: Col de Berard, Col de Beujeant, Col de Passon.

If you are curious or would just like some more details all you need do is ask. We can recommend trips that can be adapted for you and your group and can send you all the specific details and requirements. Everything can be organised and clarified, from meeting points, routes, equipment that will be needed and accommodation. The mountain refuges and huts used on the tours generally are manned by a guardian and so offer comfortable dormitory style accommodation, washing facilities, hot meals and drinks.
Once the trip and details have been decided we cen help you with the next important step of preparation.
