About the experience

This half-day ski touring experience is ideal for those who want to discover off-piste skiing in a shorter, more focused format. We begin with a quick assessment of your level and objectives, followed by a short warm-up and equipment preparation. You will learn how to use an avalanche safety kit, which safety rules must be followed and how travelling through natural terrain differs from skiing on prepared slopes.

During the ascent, we focus on rhythm, technique and energy efficiency. On the descent, we practise adapting to varied snow conditions and controlling turns on unprepared terrain. Even within this compact programme, you will receive personalised corrections and clear recommendations, ensuring visible progress that will be useful on 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.
