Between climb and freedom!
Put on your touring skins and discover the world of ski touring, guided by the expert advice of our esf Val Cenis instructors.

Start with an evening introductory session, featuring a gentle ascent of 100 to 200 metres — perfect for learning the basics before enjoying a magical descent by headlamp.

For more experienced skiers, the Freerando outing takes you higher, with 300 to 500 metres of ascent after a lift ride, offering breathtaking views from the mountain ridges. A one-of-a-kind experience combining nature, freedom, and adventure!

Is Equipment Included in the Price?
No, ski or snowboard equipment is not included in the price. You must rent or bring your own gear from a sports shop or personal equipment.
do i need insurance?
Yes, because esf does not provide insurance for its students. If your lift pass does not include insurance, we strongly recommend purchasing the Carré Neige insurance — a specific policy that covers you in the event of accident or illness on the slopes. Available when purchasing your lift pass, either online (on the esf or Val Cenis website) or at esf or ski pass offices in resort.
