Advice:

We also recommend wearing the helmet for all, wrists and impact shorts for snowboarders.

Always wear warm, dry and comfortable clothes and ideally thermal clothing.

 

Imperative equipment: gloves, sunscreen, sunglasses or a ski mask.

We recommend storing your shoes in a warm, dry place at night and make sure you are comfortable in them. Only one pair of socks is enough.

​

Anticipate climate change throughout the day with adapted clothing.

​

All off-piste exits include a “safety pack” (Tranceiver, probe, shovel) provided by Skiyak. The instructor is also equipped with a radio to trigger the rescue on « Sécurité Vanoise ».

​

Activity in mountain:

The mountains are very accessible, but basics roles must be respected.

​

The safety:

​optimization of security through analysis of various things:

​

  • The weather report and avalanche risk of the day

  • Know the route

​

After a good breakfast, you’re ready for a good day !

​

The material:

Personal equipment is one of the links of the chain that will give you a good or bad stay. When it comes to shoes, you don’t have to wait until the last moment to change your waist before you get the wounds.

The pair of skiing must be adapted to the quality of the snow, wide skiing for the powder maker, small shelves for carving.
