Description

Over the past decade resort ski touring has become increasingly popular amongst alpine residents, and for good reason. The lack of avalanche danger and crevasses make it pretty stress-free and yet you can get a great, and mountain-specific, workout in beautiful surroundings.

Ski resorts have long tolerated tourers using their pistes for a bit of training, but these same resorts are increasingly seeing the benefits of providing ski touring facilities, particularly in the Covid-19 era, where the definitions of travel and freedom were forever changed. Nowhere was this more true than in the wild Haute Savoie region of France - an area which is home to the Alps' highest mountain and some of the best ski resorts on the planet. We've showcased 6 resort ski tours in this mythical region - 4 above St Gervais and Les Contamines, and 2 in the legendary Chamonix valley. Views, ambience and perfect touring terrain are guaranteed on all 6!

So whether you just want a quick blast, you're training for a mountain mission, or you just need a bit of chilled time in the hills, this is the guidebook you need.
