Ski Touring Holidays

Find Hidden Winter Gems on a Ski Touring Holiday

A classic trip with a contemporary twist. Our ski tours aren’t operated in the traditional sense, where hiking upward is often more important than skiing downward. Instead, our ski touring trips use “old world” hike-to-ride-style for hunting untouched powder. The goal isn’t mounting peaks, it’s conquering verticals. Our ski tours involve short hikes using skins, snowshoes or split boards to reach fresh powder and amazing views. These eco-friendly tours are also budget-friendly, come in a variety of options and are found all over the world. Ski touring is the ultimate way to find hidden winter gems.

Five Reasons Ski Touring is the Ultimate Winter Experience

01

Ski touring is exhilarating and satisfying

If you want to move forward with your skiing, you can do it by taking a few steps backward! Ski touring is a unique and classic way of skiing. Together with the tremendous improvements with equipment and techniques, such as fat skis and split boards, ski touring nowadays is a fresh and unique experience. When you hike up a mountain, reaching remote peaks and endless untouched powder, you’ll feel the exhilaration that comes with the hard physical work - something that heli skiing and cat skiing can’t offer.

02

A seamless experience with new technology for ski and snowboard

With the enormous evolution of ski and snowboard technology, ski touring has become easier and more popular than ever. New equipment has facilitated a fresh way to ski touring, which makes it more accessible for skiers and snowboarders than ever before. Fat skis with touring bindings allow skiers to make hikes that bring a lot of fun riding down the mountain as well. Lightweight snow-shoes and split-boards are options for snowboarders to make ski touring a seamless and limitless experience. With new equipment comes new possibilities; you can ski or snowboard to amazing locations, then snap into your bindings and freeride over virgin powder.

03

An incredible alternative to heliski

In comparison to heli skiing or snowcat skiing, ski touring is eco-friendly. After all, the only machine you’ll use to get to the peak is your body. The satisfaction from bombing down backcountry slopes, after such physical exertion, is immense. At the end of the day, you’ll relax and rejuvenate from a hard day’s work and be proud of your physical accomplishment. Finally, compared to resort skiing, ski touring offers access to an untapped winter playground. You can ski or ride endless terrain of untracked fresh powder without the skiing traffic found at a resort.

04

Every traveler type and riding ability can try ski touring

Ski tours are available for practically every type of traveler and for every skiing or riding ability. From beginners to advanced skiers and snowboarders, LUEX can help you find the ski touring trip that is perfect for your ability level. Skiers or riders in top form will find a tonne of ski tours available. Travelers who prefer less physically taxing activity will find plenty of ski tours with shorter hikes. There’s something for every skier or rider on a ski tour.

05

The world’s best destinations are available for ski tours

LUEX offers ski tours in a variety of incredible destinations. Some of our most popular are found in the Alps and Northern Europe, where the powder is deep and the mountains steep. Head to Norway for incredible vistas and a seaside ski tour experience or explore Italy’s backcountry, with a ski tour at Passo Tonale.

Canada, the Mecca of luxury skiing, is another great destination for a ski tour, with its endless backcountry offered to those willing to test their body and endurance. Whatever your style and wherever you are, LUEX can help you find a ski tour destination that is perfect for you.
