Ski touring, also known as alpine touring or radonnée, is the ultimate way to explore untouched mountain landscapes. Using specially designed skis or a splitboard with climbing skins, you can ascend the slopes without sliding back—earning every turn as you climb.
Once you reach the summit, the real reward begins. Peel off your climbing skins, take in the breathtaking views, and enjoy an epic descent, hopefully in fresh, untouched powder.
New to ski touring? We recommend starting with a guided tour or course to build your confidence. Navigating the backcountry requires knowledge of avalanche safety, terrain awareness, and proper equipment. Many of our partners offer courses for beginners and advanced ski mountaineers, ensuring you can explore safely while making the most of your adventure.
