Is this your first ski tour outing?

How about getting off the slopes, entering the wilderness and discovering the pleasures of descending down to the town from untouched slopes?

This exquisite ski tour/hike leads you on the western slope of the resort where you will discover new scenery and landscapes. Far away from the regular slopes, you will cross forests, visit small valleys, be inspired by intense peaks and descend on untouched slopes.
With this esf experience you are in good hands and will learn added techniques.
The main objective is technique and of course, your pleasure!
This output corresponds to the level: Pack Trace - discovery
