Snow was good and the group was kept to a sensible size. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Would book with them again.

Snow was good and the group was kept to a sensible size. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Good value for what's included.

Questions people ask
Confident off-piste on a red run in variable snow. Touring is not a way to learn to ski — the descents are ungroomed, sometimes breakable crust, and there is no piste to bail onto.
