What is ski touring?

Ski touring consists of going up skis, thanks to seal skins stuck under the soles, before coming down skiing. Unlike downhill skiing, it does not rely solely on the ski lifts. It is an activity that combines physical effort, immersion in nature and the pleasure of downhill.

Do you have to be an expert to start?

Good news: it is not necessary to be an expert skier to start ski touring. A correct level on red tracks is generally sufficient.

La Rosière is particularly suitable for beginners thanks to its gradual routes, gentle slopes and varied terrain, ideal for learning without pressure.
