Discover the world of ski touring. This original form of skiing is becoming increasingly popular as people seek out tranquillity and untouched powder
Discover the world of ski touring. Ski touring opens so many dimensions when it comes to skiing, the most obvious one being you can go where the ski lifts can't, which means you can also go where the masses can't, which means you get the benefit of escaping the crowds as well making fresh tracks. Enjoy your first 2 day ski touring trip with a night in a refuge.

Level required (from the flagship course page)
- You have never done ski touring before, or you are not confident enough yet to do Touring Level 2. You are at least Advanced level on piste and should have some experience off piste depending on the course.
Ski area
- Argentière shares the same ski areas as Chamonix, the world famous ski resort.
- The skiing is varied and vast, but tends to favour the more advanced skier and especially those who are into off piste and high mountain adventures.
- There are some beginner slopes at Grands Montets and Le Tour (Vormaine) which are great for those starting out, but once you reach the intermediate stage, Chamonix valley is a little more challenging.
- It is without a doubt a great place to progress, but it lacks those long cruisy pistes which other resorts can offer.

The centre

The historic Victorian building was fully refurbished in 2013 making it one of the newest and most comfortable UCPA centres. Within the centre there are multiple secure equipment rooms, drying rooms, a dining hall, a bar and plenty of social space to relax. The outdoor pool is closed in the winter.
Multishare rooms
The shared rooms at Argentiere are modern and comfortable. The bathrooms are shared on each floor and are well maintained.
Groups who are on our system together as a group are typically roomed together in a combination that works. If your group size is bigger than the room size, or if you want your group to be split for rooming, then it's best to email the UCPA centre directly around 2 weeks before travel.
Where possible, solo travellers are roomed with others of the same gender.
Twin rooms
There are some twin rooms at UCPA Argentiere, with shared bathrooms. They are available to book for a supplement per person when making the booking. Please note single occupancy in twin rooms is not possible as courses are curated on a per bed basis.
