Introduction courses to ski touring at Presset hut with a guide

How does an introductory ski touring course at Presset refuge take place and who is it intended for?

Required level

These 3 or 4 days introductory ski touring courses with 2 or 3 nights at Presset refuge are intended for people who have never practiced ski touring or who have made a few half-day or full-day introductory outings. Practitioners already have a good off-piste skiing level with permanent control of their speed and trajectory. Good physical condition is required: to access the refuge the positive elevation on the first day of hiking is 1000 m. The following days, the positive elevation will be less than or equivalent to 1000 m, starting from 2500 m altitude we will benefit from the best snow conditions and we will be able to adapt the level of difficulty of each day according to the desire and the fitness of the participants thanks to the numerous routes leaving from the refuge.

Program

Each day of the course corresponds to an outing day in ski touring: you will need to provide a picnic and something to drink. The difficulty of each hike varies according to the level of the group. During the course, emphasis will be placed on the use of touring equipment (skis, bindings, skins, ski knives) and the optimization of technique: how to move efficiently when climbing; introduction to conversions on gentle slopes; technique in off-piste skiing and changing snow...
