Backcountry Abroad

This year we will be Back country skiing from different resorts in the Aosta valley and we intend to spend at least one night in a mountain refuge as part of our tour or have at least 1 helicopter uplift on each of the weeks. We have had a hiatus from Champoluc over the last few seasons due to the restrictions placed on British Instructors, Leaders and Coaches by Brexit. We filled that hiatus by going to Whistler and La Grave. Great places in their own right, but we are delighted to say that agreement has now been reached between Italy and the UK and we can now work with our own clients in wonderful , world class Aosta once more!
