A few safety rules on the marked routes

  • Access to these routes (including descent) is prohibited at night and permitted only during the ski area’s operating hours: between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Outside of these hours, there is a risk of accident due to the cables of grooming machinery.
  • The route is intended exclusively for ascent. Descents must be made only on open downhill slopes. Track maintenance is carried out by users.
  • The route may be partially or fully closed by the ski patrol for safety reasons. Before setting out, check the status of the ski touring trail on our website.

Ski touring for beginners

Accessible to everyone, ski touring offers a flexible experience that can be tailored to individual preferences: each person can ascend at their own pace and enjoy a variety of terrain and snow conditions on the descent, following marked trails or going off-piste.*

For your first outings, we recommend seeking guidance from ski instructors or mountain guides in Les Gets. They will teach you everything you need to know about mountain skiing, equipment, and safety rules. As for gear, many sports shops in Les Gets offer equipment for rent or purchase.

*Off-piste skiing requires following numerous safety rules: analyzing weather conditions, snow layers, and terrain, as well as carrying specific safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, airbag backpack, etc.)
