Tre dages privat introduktion til skitouring
Vi foreslår et 3-dages ski touring program, der inkluderer flot ski touring og god introduktion. 3 dage burde være rigelig tid til at lære det grundlæggende i touring, kick-turns og brug af specialudstyr.
Alle dage vil indeholde en dejlig skitur og godt skiløb. Guiden bestemmer, hvilke ture der gås, der bliver afgjort baseret på de aktuelle forhold og gruppens komposition.
Vi sigter mod at lave tre dages introduktion til skitouring. Det er en fantastisk måde at starte med ski touring. Du vil lære det grundlæggende om touring, få selvtillid og vide meget mere om udstyret, og om skitouring er noget, du ønsker at investere mere tid og penge i.
Kurset kan designes specifikt til hver gruppe og kan endda inkludere en nat i en bjerghytte, hvis de er åbne, og gruppen har dette ønske. Vi vil give dig et tilbud på den ekstra udgift, hvis du går til en hytte.
Private grupper kan booke dette kursus hele vinteren. Det er også muligt at tilføje ekstra dage til kurset. Bare lad os det vide, så giver vi dig et tilbud.
Transport rundt er ikke inkluderet, men små grupper kan ofte køre med guiden. Større grupper skal enten bruge bus/tog for at komme rundt eller have deres egen bil.
Elementer, der vil blive undervist i, er:
Brug af udstyret
Brugen af skindene
Teknikker for ski touring
Kick-turns
Skiløb med skind på
Klatring med ski på rygsækken
Træning med en lavine-transceiver
Skiløb på gletsjer
Vinter 2024
| N. of Participants | Price per Participant | Total Group Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1500€ | 1500€ |
| 2 | 900€ | 1800€ |
| 3 | 700€ | 2100€ |
| 4 | 600€ | 2400€ |
| 5* | 540€ | 2700€ |
| 6* | 500€ | 3000€ |
Dette private kursus kan kun bookes af enkeltpersoner eller private grupper.
*Gruppestørrelser på 5 eller 6 deltagere accepteres, så længe alle har et godt skiniveau og er fortrolige med grundlæggende turteknikker.
Du kan til enhver tid anmode om dette kursus i løbet af vinteren. Jo tidligere du booker, jo nemmere er det at booke guider og reservere plads til liften op til Aiguille du Midi. Især midt om vinteren (uge 7-8-9) kan være problematisk for sene bookinger.

Excluded
Any cost not mentioned in the “Included” section. The most important ones are:
Transport til Chamonix
Læs mere under praktisk info.
Overnatning i dalen
Læs mere under praktisk info.
Liftkort
Du skal bruge Chamonix Unlimited-passet for at få adgang til Aiguille du Midi.
Personligt skiudstyr
Tjek afsnittet om udstyr.
Frokost og drikkevarer
Vi vil normalt ikke stoppe på nogen restaurant for at spise frokost. Du bør medbringe en sandwich, snacks og nok vand til dagen (f.eks. 1,5 liter).
Forsikring
Du bør sikre dig, at du er tilstrækkeligt forsikret. Tjek vores side om forsikring.
Bjerghytter
Hvis du ønsker at overnatte i en hytte, skal du regne med at dække denne udgift for hele gruppen (inklusive guidens udgifter).
Dag 1 – Skitur i Balme-området
Vi tager til Balme-området for enden af dalen eller et andet område, hvor guiden kan finde en ideel ramme for en første dag på tur. For en gruppe, for hvem touring er en introduktion, er dette en værdifuld dag til at lære udstyret at kende. Hvis gruppen ikke har noget kendskab til brugen af deres lavine-transceivere, er dette et glimrende tidspunkt at gennemgå dette, før vi begiver os længere ind i bjergene.
Dag 2 – Skitur i Aiguilles Rouges
Vi har mange muligheder for denne dag, og rutevalget er enormt i Aiguilles Rouges kæden. Baseret på gårsdagens introduktion finder guiden en rute, der passer til gruppen. Der vil blive lagt vægt på at lære kick-turns, den korrekte skindteknik og at tage skind af og på effektivt. Vi skal måske på en tur, hvor man skal tage skiene på rygsækken og klatre med stegjern og isøkse.
Dag 3 – Skitur i Vallée Blanche
Vi tager på skitur i Vallée Blanche fra Aiguille du Midi i 3842 meters højde. Vi har mange muligheder. Guiden vil forsøge at finde den rute hvor sneen er bedst. En fantastisk tur går mod Italien, hvor vi snor os gennem sprækkeområder, nogle gange med reb, for at nå nogle brede åbne skråninger med kold sne tilbage til Vallée Blanche. Når der er rigeligt med sne, og gruppen er stærk, kan vi stå på ski hele vejen til Chamonix. Ved mange lejligheder tager vi toget fra Montenvers 1900 m, hvis nogen i gruppen er for trætte, eller sneforholdene ikke er gode længere nede.
Hvis vejret ikke er godt nok til at stå på ski fra Aiguille du Midi, vil vi prøve at gå op mod toppen af Aiguilles des Grand Montets. Herfra har vi et flot skiløb nedover Rognon gletsjeren.
Bemærk: Guiden vil foreslå et program, der tager højde for antallet af deltagere, gruppens niveau og det aktuelle vejr. Målet er at lave nogle fantastiske skiture i løbet af de tre dage, lære teknikker og stå på ski i god sne.
Shell jacket – You need a lightweight, yet relatively sturdy shell jacket that is stowed away and doesn’t take to much space. If you can fit your ski helmet under the hood it’s great. Most jackets today have vents under the arms for ventilation.
Shell pants – They will be the best protection against the element. For pure off-piste skiing, you will be best off with a pair of bibs/salopettes that rise over the waistline to avoid snow coming in.
Base layers – Top and bottom thermal underwear. You can adjust these to be either a light or warm version. It all depends on the temperatures of the day.
Mid-layer – A mid-grade fleece sweater or jacket is great.
Extra warm layer – Light fiber and down jacket.
Warm hat – That covers the ears.
Neck gaiter – Something that can warm your neck and protect against wind and bad weather. A “buff” or other balaclavas are great.
2 Pairs of gloves – It’s always wise to have a spare pair of gloves in your backpack. They can get very wet and then cold if you take some tumbles. E.g. bring a pair of warm and less warm gloves.
Socks – Make sure to choose a pair of socks that will keep you warm, but not so that you are too tight in the boots.
Backpack – 30l-40l durable and lightweight. Should have straps or a system to carry skis comfortably. You need at least one ice-axe holder. If you like to use the backpack for hut-to-hut trips later, you can opt for a size of 40-45l.
Skis* – Good off-piste/touring skis with ski-touring bindings.
Skins* – Skins must be cut to the ski you use. Should have a maximum of 1-2mm to the edge and clip on the back tail—only glue skins.
Ski crampons* – “harscheisen” or simply “knives”. Get these before you visit Chamonix, as they are specific to your binding brand and ski width. It can be a frustrating exercise to find them last minute in Chamonix.
Ski touring boots* – Normal or Lightweight touring model, w. good “walk-mode,” “Vibram-sole,” and “tech binding inserts.”. Note that heavier “free-ride” boots with touring capability aren’t meant for more extended tours.
Ski poles* – A light telescopic ski pole. Make sure to choose a good brand (E.g. Leki). The basket must be wide enough for use in soft snow.
Harness* – When we bring the harness, it is mainly worn all day. Opt for a well-fitting, compact & lightweight ski touring model.
Crampons* – A hybrid model with steel front points and an aluminium backpiece is ideal for ski touring. We avoid full aluminium crampons as they aren’t durable enough. Full steel crampons are suitable, but they are heavy.
Ice-axe* – A short and light ski-touring model.
Ski helmet – We recommend all participants wear helmets. Today’s lightweight ski touring model helmets are well-ventilated, which makes it possible to wear them even when going uphill.
Ski strap – Used for various things, but mostly to keep your skis together and to attach the tips when carrying them on the backpack.
Avalanche beacon* – Choose a new quality model with three antennas.
Avalanche shovel* – A lightweight, extendable model of good quality.
Probe* – At least 2m long
* You can rent these items in most shops in town. When you rent skis, they should always come with skins & ski crampons. The rental equipment is never very light, as they are built to last.
Water bottle – 1l water bottle. Water systems will freeze.
Snacks/sandwiches/energy bars – Don’t take too much!
Suncream & sun-stick
Snow goggles
Sunglasses – Category 4
Phone – Type in the emergency number and keep it warm/dry during the day.
Tour Grade: From S2/T1/B
Please read through the requirements for participating in this tour and follow the link to the “grading page.”
Technical Level
You must be a good skier with enough off-piste experience to handle various snow conditions. You should be able to hold an edge safely on hard snow. We also expect you to make controlled turns in 35-degree terrain. In short, steeper sections, you should be able to make a controlled side-slip down.
As this could be your first ski touring experience, we don’t expect you to have tried it before. The guide will teach you the basic techniques of ski touring.
Please note that we will be skiing with a backpack every day.
Fitness
You must be in good shape and be able to walk for several hours while ski touring. We will do rests but do not count on very long resting times. It is often cold, and we need to keep going. We can adjust the tour length to accommodate the group’s fitness and ambitions. It is easier for us if the groups have a homogenous fitness level.
General Information
Getting to Chamonix or the course venue
For most of our clients, the easiest way to get to Chamonix or the Alps, in general, is by plane. The nearest airport is Geneva.

Valley accommodation
Not everyone wants the same accommodation type, so we rarely include Valley accommodation. Check our suggested hotels, B&B, and campsites on this page – Click here.
If you want us to include hotel nights in the price, please let us know what standard you are looking for.
Insurance
You must take out search & rescue, repatriation, and cancellation insurance. Read more about insurance here – Click here.
Safety
We believe our finest task is to give every client a unique mountain experience without taking unnecessary risks. The experience of the mountain guide, access to the most recent weather forecasts, and information sharing between guides are some of the important elements for making good and sound judgment calls. Suppose conditions or other situations render an attempt at a peak dangerous, avalanche conditions of a ski tour no longer possible, etc.. In that case, the guide will do his/her best to devise a good alternate plan. This might be a 100% change of the program. Emphasis is put on staying safe and having a great time!
Mountain huts
In some of our courses, we stay in mountain huts. On hut-to-hut trips, they are part of the itinerary; at other times, we use them as the starting point for a climb or ski tour.
The mountain huts offer basic accommodation in bunk-style rooms. Blankets and duvets are in the huts, so you don’t need to bring a sleeping bag. It is obligatory to bring a sleeping bag liner.
We are served a simple breakfast and a 3-course dinner (soup, main meal, dessert).
We will let the guardian of the hut know if you are on a special diet (vegetarians, allergies, etc.). Vegans will need to bring supplementary food.
There are hut slippers available for use inside the hut.
It’s helpful to bring cash for personal expenses (water, soft drinks, beer, lunches, etc.)
There is mostly no tap water in the huts, and you must buy bottled water.
You will be able to charge your phone.
Some mountain huts have showers. You must mostly pay for this; only a few huts can provide towels.
