Ski de Randonnée / Splitboarding Guided Tours
For those seeking adventure beyond the groomed pistes, Avoriaz offers specialized guided tours for ski de randonnée (ski touring) and splitboarding. Expert local guides lead small groups into the pristine backcountry of the Portes du Soleil, focusing on safe ascent techniques (using skins) and exhilarating descents in untouched powder. These tours provide in-depth instruction on avalanche safety, route finding, and proper equipment usage, catering to intermediate to advanced skiers/snowboarders. Tours typically range from half-day introductions to multi-day expeditions, with indicative prices starting from 250 EUR per day for a private guide (excluding equipment rental). All participants are required to have appropriate safety gear (transceiver, shovel, probe).
