Ski Touring Holidays

Ski touring gives you the best of both worlds: skins attached to the underside of your skies give you traction to walk uphill into the wild hinterland, then once you’ve gained some height you strip them off and enjoy the thrill of skiing deserted descents. And best of all, ski-touring allows you to reach parts of the mountain other skiers cannot reach! 

The high massif of the Cairngorms is a spectacular destination for ski mountaineering and offers snow enthusiasts the most reliable ski conditions in the UK, while the classic King's Trail in Swedish Lapland is one of the most stunning ski touring routes in Europe and the combination of untracked powder and challenging terrain near Chamonix in France is a fantastic choice to try out this exhilarating and rewarding winter activity with introductory lessons from professionals. 

These are just a few of the great options for a memorable ski touring holiday. Below is our selection of the the best organised ski-touring holidays in Europe, all reachable by train and/or ferry from the UK.
