Ski Touring is accessible to everyone, offering a chance to explore untouched natural areas while respecting the environment.

Combine the thrill of skiing with the adventure of hiking. Ski Touring allows you to ski away from the crowds and marked trails, searching for untouched slopes and endless powder snow.

For those with an intermediate level, Ski Touring can also be enjoyed with descents down the marked pistes.
