While downhill skiing takes place on fully marked and groomed slopes, ski touring offers more freedom. However, it also requires excellent technique and, of course, the utmost caution.

Good physical condition

Even if you only need an advanced level of skiing to enjoy ski touring, good physical condition is essential. Here, there are no chairlifts or ski lifts like on the slopes of Prapoutel, Pipay or Le Pleynet. Armed with your skins under your skis, you’ll have to make your way up the slope with the strength of your thighs. Only then will you have the chance to ski down into the wonderful powder.

A great introduction

What you love most about ski touring is the diversity of itineraries above the 7 Laux resort, their different levels of difficulty, but above all the splendor of the scenery. That’s what you’ll remember about ski touring at Cime de la Jasse. Even if this is a very popular itinerary, starting from Prabert, the fact remains that the descent in the sunshine guarantees a lot of fun and, above all, exceptional scenery. You’re in for a real treat! The views of the Belledonne mountain range and the surrounding area are breathtaking. As you make your way along the course, you’ll cross valleys and lakes. But it’s only when you reach the summit of La Jasse that you realize that the beauty of nature is immense, and that we are humbled by it. Come on, there’s no time to dawdle after a little rest, and we’ve got to get back down to Prapoutel or Prabert before the snow conditions change too much. And yes, ski touring in the Belledonne also means respecting snow conditions.

Of course, many other itineraries are possible, such as the Belle Etoile, the Pic des Cabottes or the Dent du Pra. To make the most of them, you can now take the Ski de rando package.

Be accompanied by guides

However beautiful it may be, hiking is an activity that requires caution and must be supervised for greater safety. With a guide or instructor, you’ll learn first and foremost how to ski tour, but above all you won’t get involved if there’s an avalanche risk or if snow conditions don’t allow it.
