Some of the locations we visit are over 3,500 meters (11,500 ft.) above sea level.
This is a flexible, condition-based itinerary. Destinations and the order of activities may change due to snowfall, wind, visibility, road closures, avalanche hazard or resort operations.
The guide may replace a destination or activity when required for safety or snow quality. Guests must follow the guide’s instructions and respect all operating and access restrictions. Resort opening, lift operations and off-piste access cannot be guaranteed.
