This is the ideal activity for good skiers who don't necessarily have the desire or the ability to cope with climbs in excess of 600m, but who want to get off the resort's popular off-piste runs and explore new slopes.
For this activity, we take advantage of the ski pass ("rando" single ascent) to access the summit, which allows us to start in a valley outside the ski area and without having to put on skins. Then we'll go back up this time with skins on for a second run.... Less effort and more fun - around 600m of ascent for 1500m of descent!

OUR ADVICE :)
Despite the cold of winter or the mildness of spring, during this adventure where we are going to go from very cold to very hot and from very hot to very cold fairly quickly, it is important to be able to modulate the temperature.

layers.
The weather can also change (for the better or worse) just as quickly, so don't take the above list lightly, as you could suffer unpleasant or even dangerous consequences.
Clothes that are too warm will make you sweat, and if this moisture isn't evacuated as much as possible, you won't be able to keep warm even with a huge down jacket.
The 3-layer system works very well, and we recommend it.

Personally, we often have a 4th layer just in case (sleeveless down jacket, for example).
