From February 1st to 7th, 2026, Free-Rando in the Val d'Anniviers
ANNIVIERS ROMANTIC Free-Rando - Valais, Switzerland - Val d'Anniviers

"Romantic skiing" means gentle and comfortable ski touring in a remarkable environment. We again chose the Val d'Anniviers, which offer varied and distinctive "Free-Rando" skiing. Here's the concept: starting from the Moiry hotel in the center of Grimentz, we'll ski the most beautiful routes in the Vercorin, Chandolin/St Luc, and Zinal/Gimentz ski areas. Free-Rando involves combining touring and off-piste skiing using the ski lifts and moderate climbs on ski with skins. The proximity of the five 4000-metre peaks of the Imperial Crown, the multiplicity of terrain, and good snow conditions will make this stay enjoyable.

From March 19 to 29, 2026, Ski Train in Slovakia, Crossing the Tatras
4 to 6 participants per guide,

SKI TRAIN IN THE SLOVAK HIGH TATRA - High Tatras (Vysoké Tatry) – Carpathian Mountains - Slovakia

At the end of the 19th century, a railway line was built to serve the Slovak High Tatras. It is now possible to cross the base of the Vysoké Tatry (High Tatras) by train! Several ski resorts are accessible by rail, but it is also a possibility to enter the massif and reach the refuges and high valleys. This mountainous region of Slovakia has in common with Switzerland that it is served by two metric gauge lines where equipment of Swiss origin circulates... A touch of Switzerland in the high Tatras! This high-end stay aims to consider ski travel in a new way. It is a question of traveling on skis of course but also by train. Like a high road, we will alternate ski stages with nights in refuges and mountain hotels joining our Ariadne's thread: the rails with their central rack. In 2016 we had this wonderful experience in Graubünden using the Bernina Express train, in 2025 we used the Glacier Express train, this winter 2026 it will be the Tatranská elektrická železnica (TEŽ) . The journey to Slovakia will also be by rail from Zurich via Bratislava. The plan is to cross the High Tatras from west to east. These mountains between Poland and Slovakia are the highest in the Carpathian chain – sometimes called the “miniature Alps” – they are steep and renowned for being technical. But our itinerary will take the easiest route, allowing a high route accessible to many ski tourers. This is an original way to discover Slovakia, a unique itinerary in the mountains of Eastern Europe.

From April 12 to 18, 2026, Ski touring in the Val da Campo, on the border between Italy, Switzerland and Graubünden, Lombardy.
VAL DA CAMPO, THE SMUGGLERS' VALLEY
Switzerland/Graubünden – Italy/Lombardy, Poschiavo – Upper Valtellina

The Val da Campo is a side valley of the Poschiavo Valley, south of the Bernina Pass. It is surrounded by the Italian territory of the Upper Valtellina on three sides, with only the access road from Sfazù being Swiss. Smugglers have long traveled through the Val da Campo between Switzerland and Italy. It is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque valleys in Graubünden. It is also a mecca for ski touring. By using two mountain huts, one on the Swiss side and the other on the Italian side, it is possible to create beautiful and original combinations of routes. The mountain huts are well-located and comfortable. These mountains are steep but ideal for skiing. A few small glaciers are still nestled in the northern slopes, and the peaks are often reached with crampons following easy ridges. Another beautiful corner of the Alpine arc that seems interesting to discover. A splendid raid in wild mountains.
