Intro
Ski touring doesn’t always have to mean a remote 3,000-metre peak. You can also try ski touring in ski resorts. Villars not only offers marked routes, but also introductory packages with everything you need for a ski tour.
The popular opinion is that ski touring requires a certain level of expertise. What equipment is needed? What are the technical requirements? Where’s a safe place to get started? Find out just how easy it can be to get started on your first ski tour in Villars. The “RandoCenter” has the answers to all the burning questions asked by newcomers to the sport of ski touring. The introductory package includes all of the necessary ski touring equipment and a one-hour introductory course. Professionals from the local ski school will explain how to attach the skins, how to use the bindings correctly, and tricks for moving around the mountain on touring skis.
After this introductory lesson, you will be ready to explore the mountain under your own steam. Ski touring newbies in Villars don’t need maps or avalanche awareness training. The clearly marked and secured ski touring routes are right in the middle of the ski region; there are three in Villars and three in Gryon. All the basics for your first ski tour are covered. There’s just one more thing you need: strong legs. If you’d prefer to satisfy your desire for seclusion and nature in its purest form with a ski tour, you can book a local mountain guide. Villars offers a whole host of summit destinations where you can experience the real fascination of ski touring: Conquer a mountain peak far from the madding crowd and enjoy untouched powder snow on your descent.
