Save 40% on accommodation in Isère

Experience the joy of off-piste skiing with Isère’s National Ski Touring Benchmark Programme, and save 40% on accommodation when staying with Ski France 

The ski touring craze is going from strength to strength with a growing number of skiers and snowboarders heading into the back country for off-piste solitude – and there is no place better to do so than Isère. In 2021, Isère began to initiate a policy of structuring ski touring, which would gradually come into effect over a two year period. Part of this project involves setting up counting units at the start of the marked routes, to monitor the number of skiers and snowboarders. It also includes creating breaks in the route for people to join or leave, secure zones and a rescue service, and an avalanche triggering plan if necessary. 12 pilot ski areas have set up 33 ski touring routes this winter, which are permanent, signposted, and secured trails, suitable for all levels. These include the resorts of Alpe d’Huez, Oz en Oisans, Vaujany, Les 2 Alpes, Chamrousse, Villards des Lans and Les Sept Laux.

Isère is offering free ski touring initiation workshops supervised by experienced professionals, with prior online registration. Make the most of a trip to Isère with a stay at Ski France’s  Chalet Le Manoir. Le Manoir sleeps 12 guests across six bedrooms and boasts a hot tub and sauna as well as free Wi-Fi throughout the chalet, a cosy open fire and comfortable sofas in the living area.
