This weekend Chamonix hosts the annual ski touring competition, ‘La Trace des Grands’.

Ski Weekend is organising ski courses in Chamonix in March 2024, available to individuals or small groups.

If you have your own group, we can arrange instructors and/or guides to create your own bespoke ski course.

Book now to join our programmes throughout 2023/2024. December 2023 will be the beginning of our 36th winter and to mark it, we have several highlights in our calendar. 

As always it begins with the 'Warm Up Weekend' in Val d'Isère, then why not join us for our 'Premiere Traces' in Chamonix or head out later in the season from 14-18 March?
