Ski touring
in Courchevel.

Ski touring combines climbing with skins and skiing back down. Both your confidence on skis and your fitness matter when planning an outing. A first experience needs a different approach from a tour with a seasoned ski tourer.

With SKILAB, your outing starts with a conversation: what is your experience, how much time would you like to spend on the mountain, and what would you like to discover? Your answers help us plan a suitable outing together around Courchevel.

In the mountains, the route and duration depend on the group, the weather and the snow conditions. The plan may change to suit the conditions you encounter. No route is fixed before we have discussed your outing with you.

A lesson can introduce you to the equipment and the planning involved, or help you develop experience you already have. Tell our team about your previous outings so we can agree on the content and pace.

Let us know your dates, downhill skiing level, ski touring experience and the number of participants. Equipment requirements depend on the planned outing: ask our team for a list of what you will need before hiring or buying anything.

Our partner L’Atelier in Courchevel offers equipment sales and hire. The SKILAB team will confirm the arrangements, meeting point and price for your planned programme.
