About the experience

Ski touring gives you the freedom to explore the mountains beyond prepared slopes, and this experience is designed to teach you how to do so correctly and safely. We begin with an initial assessment, set clear objectives and prepare the equipment. This is followed by a guided warm-up and a complete introduction to avalanche safety equipment, an essential part of any off-piste adventure.

During the tour, you will learn efficient ascent techniques, practise kick turns and discover how to manage the angle of the slope while conserving energy. During the descent, we approach different types of snow, from powder and crust to heavy snow, helping you adapt your technique to changing conditions. The entire experience is tailored to your level, while the guide provides continuous support, corrections and recommendations. At the end, you will receive structured feedback and advice for future ski tours.

Șerban, your ski instructor

I’m Șerban, your ski instructor. Passionate about the mountains, nature and snow, I always try to spend as much time outdoors as possible. During winter, I enjoy the freedom that skiing gives me, both on and off the slopes.

Whatever your level—from your first runs on skis to refining the smallest details—I am always happy to guide my students and turn each step of their progress into a memorable experience.
