About the activity
Action to the veins! A long weekend of pure fun: an activity for skiers and snowboarders who would like to taste all the worlds of deep snow skiing in one intense weekend. You can either combine it with a longer stay in the French/Italian Alps or come especially for the worthy guiding, as the Geneva airport is very accessible and comfortable for this kind of activities!
Timetable
Day 1: Thursday- independent arrival, hotel check-in and gear rental.
Official meeting in the early evening in our comfortable hotel in La Palud (The Italian side of the Mt. Blanc). A welcome talk, gear check, safety gear distribution and briefing.
Day 2: Friday- Freeride day. Depending on conditions we will ski in the less familiar but charming ski area of Courmayeur, La Tuile, or cross with a taxi to the French side to ski in one of the big names of the ski areas around Chamonix.
Day 3: Saturday- A varied day, we will probably use both- the lift infrastructure and skins to reach some wild off-piste descents. Though declared as a “ski touring” day, we don’t plan to walk up more than an hour per run.
Day 4: Sunday- Early morning check out (a luggage room is at your disposal) and- depending on conditions- a Heli-Ski day: two runs- one long and one short. Skiing back to La Palud we conclude the activity, return the safety gear and rentals- activity ends between 1-3 pm depending on the flight.
For those of you that are planning to fly the same day back, a shower at the hotel is available.
* The mentioned timetable is exemplary and may vary due to conditions, ability of the participants, safety & weather limitations.
