What's special about this massif is that there are few ski resorts or mountain huts, which makes the adventure all the more interesting.
Our 4-day ski tour will take you on a loop around the north-eastern part of the Bauges, from Seythenex to Jarsy, via the massif's most beautiful peak: the Pecloz at 2,197 m.
The Alpine character will not be outdone, and you will need to demonstrate a certain ease on skis to slalom between the fir trees and on the narrow valley floor slopes.
Ridges like the one leading to the summit of Les Arlicots will add a touch of easy mountaineering to our adventure in this mysterious UNESCO World Heritage site.
