If you’re a great off-piste skier or have done some short ski tours as day trips and would love to try multi-day ski touring with a professional guide, in one of the most stunning areas of the Alps, this event is for you!

The trip is led by one of our Touring Monkeys International Mountain Guide, Eliot Hennion.

What’s the plan?

Explore the remote beauty of the Mont Blanc massif and its surroundings through a 5-day ski tour, staying in different mountain huts every night, and waking up to breathtaking views every morning!

On Tuesday, you will meet in Geneva at 19:30. Julien, your Touring Monkeys host, will pick you up in Geneva and drive you to the hotel in Les Contamines.

On Wednesday, after breakfast, you will have the possibility to rent out your skiing equipment if you need.

Once everyone is equipped, we will start a 5-day ski tour, departing from Les Contamines and staying in 4 different mountain huts (details of the tour to be shared at a later stage).

Return to Les Contamines on Sunday afternoon, and shuttle back to Geneva, from where you will be able to catch your train to return home.
