Try ski touring for a different way of getting about the mountains!
Ski touring is the way to get up the steep slopes at the heart of the Alpine landscape like a mountaineer. «Seal skins» fitted under the skis for the climb enable you to lift your heel and turn happily!
There’s no need to panic when going downhill. All you have to do is take off the skins, lock the heels and enjoy Alpine skiing as you know it.
You will need:
A pair of light and above all short touring skis
A pair of the ski touring bindings
A pair of ski touring boots
Self-adhesive seal skins
Hiking equipement such as a ruckack for carrying your skis if necessary, suitable clothing...
Not forgetting: shovel, probe et ARVA for when you venture off the marked pistes

The trail starts at the top of the Villards cable car. For our hiker friends, the climb on the lift is free. From the top of the gondola, cross carefully the Belvedere slope then go up along the slalom stadium nets.
You are in the forest of the Grouse, which bears its name well. If you are quiet and observant you will surely see Black Grouse nesting for the winter: do not disturb them!
After a short hour's climb, you will cross the Traversée trail: be careful because you do not have priority.
From here the forest clears until you reach a small ridge between the Coqs trail and the Golf trail. Cross the trail and continue up to the top of the Vagère chairlift.
Just before reaching the top, you go up the Grands Mélèzes piste against the direction of the piste: stay on the edge and be careful of the skiers coming down.
The arrival is in front of the CATEX building and the descent will be done by the slope of your choice.
