Backcountry Skiing Courses

We offer a range of off piste ski skills and backcountry skiing courses to make your skiing safer, more efficient and more enjoyable. For established off piste skiers, our ski touring courses will provide you with the skills and knowledge to start exploring the backcountry on skins and to make your first multi-day ski tours, either independently, or on a guided ski holiday.

For advice on selecting a course, please visit our Choosing a Ski Touring Course page and for holidays, take a look at our Choosing a Ski Touring Holiday page. Or visit our Program and Availability page for an overview of our ski season, including trip dates and availability.

An intensive 3 day early season ski touring skills weekend, for learning new techniques and brushing up on avalanche safety training. This is an ideal ski touring training course, or makes good preparation for joining a multi day hut to hut tour later in the season.
