This tour is designed for individuals in excellent physical condition, capable of skiing upwards of 800 m (2,624 ft) per day and covering distances of up to 6 km (3.7 mi) on longer days. In terms of terrain, the options range from gentle, open slopes to steep, challenging couloirs, allowing each day’s itinerary to be tailored to the group’s skills, fitness level, and objectives.

However, backcountry skiing requires advanced technical proficiency in skiing or snowboarding. Participants must be able to descend confidently in all snow conditions, including deep powder, hardpack, or crusty snow.

Each day is action-packed, typically lasting between 6 to 8 hours and covering 800 to 1,200 m (2,624 to 3,937 ft) of elevation gain. However, there is flexibility to adjust the itinerary based on group energy, snow conditions, and individual preferences, allowing for shorter days or additional runs as conditions permit.
