Tour

The heart of the skimo world

Climbing a slope, a hillside, or a chute with the aim of enjoying a memorable ski run. The quest for the best snow, the right light, and optimal conditions. The weight of the equipment takes a backseat, within certain limits, as long as the uphill effort is rewarded by the satisfaction of the descent.
