Chasing fresh powder or craving a true winter bivouac, here is our selection of short ski touring and snowshoeing trips that keep you close to the high peaks. Choose your style, from dog assisted snowshoeing with a winter bivouac in the Ecrins to a New Year traverse with pulka sleds in the Cerces Mont Thabor, or classic departures around Mont Thabor with pulka and nights under canvas.
For skiers, head to the wild Ecrins valley on a 4 day program from Orcieres with progressive climbs, avalanche transceiver practice and long descents, or circle the iconic Pierra Menta on a hut to hut adventure with big Beaufortain views. Want to build skills, the Queyras course helps you become autonomous across gentle ridgelines with a mix of day tours and a mini raid, while the Aravis weekend is a welcoming introduction with a refuge night below Pointe Percee. These winter adventures run 2 to 5 days from December to March, and in the Queyras through spring.
All trips are led by expert local guides, with safety, terrain reading and good decision making at the core. Whether you prefer to pull a pulka, travel light from hut to hut or sleep below a sky of stars, our ski touring and snowshoeing trips are built for memorable winter travel. Browse the dates and grab your spot for the next powder window.
