Back Country skiing is simply Nordic ski touring for young people aged 13 to 17, i.e. off-track (away from villages and groomed cross-country ski trails), free heel and on moderate terrain.
The instructor will share his passion for equipment that reduces the amount of downhill effort, thanks to wider skis with metal edges. However, Nordic ski touring (Back Country skiing) holds all the technical keys to cross-country and alpine skiing, and even adds those of telemark skiing. It is the origin of all these disciplines.
This new formula offers young people the chance to discover wilder landscapes, in good spirits and with a new daily rhythm. Overnight in a refuge on Thursday evening.
Indicative program:
Monday - 10 a.m.-3 p.m.: Descent of the Champbellet ski lift - Descent of the Glutier du Roubion.
Tuesday: - 10 a.m.-3 p.m.: Off-track hike to Col de l'Echelle
Wednesday - 10 a.m.-3 p.m.: Introduction to jumping - Off-track descent
Thursday - 10 a.m.-4 p.m.: Ascent to the Ricou or Buffère refuge
Friday - 10 a.m.-3 p.m.: Hike from the refuge and descent to Roubion
To access the slopes, you need a Nordic-Pass day (or week) for young people (aged 5 to 16) or a NévaPass week for young people (Nordic and Alpine area pack), which is not included in the above price.
