Touring
See dates & pricesLeave the lifts behind, and find snow nobody else has touched
Climb on skins, ski back down through untouched snow, away from lifts and marked pistes entirely. It's the same Freshtracks format as everything else we run: matched by ski profile. The only difference is how you get to the snow. With options in remote corners of the Alps to our Freshtracks favourite resorts of Flaine and Chamonix, it’s all there for the taking.
From your very first day on skins to multi-day hut to hut tours, there's a natural next step whatever stage you're at.
From your first skins to hut-to-hut adventures
There are a number of ways to join a touring holiday, determined by your ski profile and ambition.
See our ski profiles →Intro to Touring
Your first time on skins. Equipment, uphill technique and avalanche safety basics, all in a supportive group.
Day Tours
Full days out and back, building stamina and technique across more varied terrain, still home each night.
First Overnight Hut
Extending your range with your first night up in a mountain hut, for skiers already confident off-piste.
Multi-Night Hut Trips
Several consecutive nights away, cabin-based, deep into the backcountry. Our most committing touring week.
Snow no lift can reach
The real reasons members make the move from off piste to touring.
You're never out there alone
Touring takes place away from marked pistes, deep into terrain a lift will never reach, so every Freshtracks touring holiday is expertly led throughout, alongside a small group of like-minded members.
A community, not just a course
Around 85% of members on Ski Club holidays travel solo, so you'll find yourself among people who came for exactly the same reason. Most stay in touch long after the trip ends.
Build real mountain skills
Kick turns, reading the line ahead, route choice. Your guide runs safety checks before every tour, so you build genuine backcountry skills, not just miles.
No need to own the kit
Renting touring skis and boots is a great way to try it for the first time. Members also get rental discounts, so there's no need to invest before you know it's for you.

Touring FAQs
Do I need a guide for my first ski tour?
Yes, and it's strongly recommended. Ski touring takes place away from marked pistes, in natural mountain terrain where conditions can change quickly.
What should I book as a beginner?
Start with an introductory touring course. These trips are designed specifically for first-timers and focus on learning rather than covering long distances, introducing equipment, uphill technique and avalanche safety basics.
How fit do I need to be?
It depends on the tour. Our beginner and day-tour holidays need a reasonable level of fitness, comfortable walking uphill for longer periods is the main thing. Multi-day hut-to-hut touring is more demanding, with consecutive days of sustained uphill effort, so check the specific holiday for what it asks of you.
Will my insurance cover ski touring?
Not all winter sports policies automatically cover ski touring, so check before you travel, including cover outside resort boundaries and mountain rescue.
Do I need my own touring skis and boots?
For most holidays it's a no, renting is a great option if you're trying touring for the first time. For more remote expeditions and higher level tours it's recommended to bring your own kit, check the individual trip page for more details.
What equipment do I need?
A suitably sized touring backpack, transceiver, shovel and probe. Speak to our office staff for more information, as the amount of equipment needed will vary by trip.
