Steep-Slope Skiing Day

What to bring

• A lift pass if we use the ski lifts: available to buy online once the programme is confirmed.
• Personal accident insurance covering steep skiing and ski mountaineering, including rescue and repatriation costs. Check your policy for any exclusions.
• Clothing suitable for skiing and the high mountains: warm base layers, fleece, down jacket, waterproof jacket such as Gore-Tex, ski trousers, socks and a warm hat.
• Warm gloves, liner gloves and a spare pair: to keep your hands dry during rope work and ascents.
• Ski goggles, sunglasses and sunscreen.
• Water bottle or thermos and food for the day: energy bars, dried fruit, sandwiches, etc.
• Skis, boots and poles suited to steep skiing and your ability: sharp edges, equipment in good condition and bindings checked. We’ll confirm together that your equipment suits the objective.
• For ski touring approaches: touring skins and ski crampons compatible with your skis and bindings.
• Avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe: a transceiver with sufficient battery power, and a shovel and probe readily accessible in your backpack. Rental is available if needed.
• A helmet suitable for the activity.
• A backpack of around 30 litres with a ski-carry system, with room for your shovel, probe and technical equipment. An avalanche airbag backpack is optional.
• Depending on the route: crampons compatible with your boots, an ice axe and a harness. Before the outing, I’ll confirm what you need and what can be borrowed or rented.
• Meals for participants and the guide: at a mountain hut or restaurant, or a packed lunch, according to the programme confirmed the day before.

Good to know

Ski touring, off-piste skiing, ski mountaineering, steep skiing and lift-assisted ski touring take place outside marked and secured pistes, in a mountain environment that is constantly changing. Avalanches, falls, obstacles, crevasses and changing weather are among the factors to consider.

I will choose and adapt our routes according to current conditions, the group’s ability and how the situation develops throughout the day, to reduce these risks. The programme may therefore change when necessary, so we can make the most of what the mountains offer.

Climbing or skiing with a mountain guide helps assess and reduce risks, but cannot eliminate them entirely. This uncertainty is part of off-piste skiing and, more broadly, of spending time in the mountains.
