steep skiing initiation day, designed for skiers who want to discover this discipline in a safe and controlled environment.

The day will begin with a gondola lift ascent to reach higher altitude. From there, we will continue on ski touring to access a more remote area, away from the pistes, where you will have the opportunity to ski your first couloir or simply learn the techniques of couloir skiing.

Guided by a professional mountain guide, you will learn the essential techniques for moving safely in steep terrain: route management, positioning, and skiing in more committed terrain. The goal is to introduce you to this practice and give you the foundations to progress safely and confidently.

The outing will take place in a small group to encourage learning, interaction, and personalized guidance.
