A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE TRIP

Expérience/Spot d'exception
Experienced in skiing, do you want to discover off-road skiing? The Grand Massif is one of those areas preserved from the crowds where off-road slopes remain accessible.
Accompanied by an off-road professional, this course offers you a complete program with: upgrading your ski technique to be able to evolve on all types of snow, avalanche research training with an avalanche victim detector, knowledge of the snow, choice of itinerary. You will progress by starting on “local” off-road trails, but also with technical feedback on the track, to go on larger off-road routes at the end of the week.
A car-free site, organized so that everything is easily accessible on foot, Flaine is a modern resort with an original architecture. Its summit offers one of the most beautiful views of the Mont-Blanc massif. In the evening, you will enjoy comfortable accommodation in the heart of the resort, shops and entertainment.
