Alpine ski touring outing

Skiing off the beaten path! Alpine ski touring offers a unique way to explore Métabief—and, above all, to experience the terrain of Mont d’Or from a fresh perspective. You leave the standard routes behind to reach the summits using only the power of your own legs.

Accompanied by a high-mountain guide or a state-certified alpine ski instructor, you will learn the techniques of ascending the mountain. The route is selected based on your skill level, your goals, and the day’s conditions.

About Alpine Ski Touring Outings in Métabief

Once you reach the summit, it’s time for the descent! Depending on conditions, you can explore off-piste areas and wooded sections. Your instructor will suggest a technical approach suited to the terrain and snow quality. It is an ideal experience for skiers looking to build their independence—and to discover another side of the Jura mountains.

Snowboarders can also join this activity. Using a splitboard, an equipment specifically designed for uphill travel—you can make the ascent before enjoying the thrill of snowboarding on the way down.

Alpine ski touring outings are organized based on the availability of your accompanying professional, your skill level, and weather and snow conditions.

The duration, route, and objectives of the outing are determined in advance to ensure an experience that aligns with your level of practice. To check available time slots or arrange a personalized outing, please contact ESi Métabief.

Ski touring equipment is not included in the service. You must bring complete, suitable gear. Please ensure you have your alpine touring skis, compatible boots, climbing skins, and poles. The professional guide may specify the necessary safety equipment based on the route and conditions.

Are you a snowboarder?

Snowboarders will need to use a splitboard for the outing. Most rental shops in Métabief offer touring equipment. For smaller sizes—particularly for teenagers—we recommend checking with EyjaSport. Splitboarders can also look to Downhill Shop in Morteau for equipment rentals.

Also, remember to bring clothing suitable for winter touring, a helmet, gloves, goggles or sunglasses, and a backpack containing water and a snack.
