Safety first

The mountains are a place of freedom and adventure. But before you step off the open, safe slopes into freeride or ski touring mode, always make sure you've followed the safety rules!

Check conditions with professionals, weather report, shovel, probe, avalanche transceiver. Be accompanied and tell at least one person about your itinerary. No virgin face is worth taking a risk: in the mountains, you have to know how to give up and turn back or go a little further when conditions aren't right.

The easiest way is to call on the resort's professionals and instructors, who will accompany you in complete safety to enjoy the fresh snow and wide-open spaces.
