Description - Ski touring in the region

Ski touring is a sport activity that allows you to ski through the mountains in winter. It allows lovers of wide open spaces to discover nature and admire the landscapes, skis on your feet! In ski touring, it is with the strength of your legs that you go up the slopes.

Close to nature, this activity allows you to evolve at your own pace in wide open spaces in order to reach a summit or a viewpoint by marked ski touring itineraries. You climb with the help of "skins" and then come down by skiing off-piste or on the slopes of a ski area.
