Ski touring

Rando Parc Châtel
These 5 itineraries start at beginner/discovery level and go up to fairly difficult level for more experienced skiers. With varied profiles, the itineraries are just as suitable for skiers looking to work on their cardio as they are for skiers looking to get out and about in the great outdoors.
The Rando Parc itineraries are signposted and safe, with return runs on groomed pistes, so you can enjoy ski touring in complete safety.

- Skiing down them outside of their opening hours can still lead to dangers such as avalanches or accidents with snow groomers.
- Be warned! Anyone using closed slopes does so at their own risk.
