This course is perfect for those who would like to try ski touring and learn the techniques involved.

Located in the Pyrenees, the Baqueira Beret ski resort is divided into three large areas: Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua. The Atlantic orientation of the resort ensures high quality snow, with a top altitude of 2610m we can expect heavy snowfall and uncrowded slopes. It's one of the resorts on the Freeride World Tour due to its amazing powder snow and challenging off piste routes.
