Half Piste Nordic (XC) ski tour @ Hotham [VBCF 2024 special]

Backcountry comes in many forms and may be enjoyed in myriad ways - we specialise in the journey, the immersion in nature, understanding the alpine environment and exploring at a human pace.

Experience the magical sensation of gliding across pristine natural terrain, discovering trails less travelled to places you never knew while still using and staying close to familiar groomed trails. Develop techniques for safely and effectively skiing ungroomed snow giving you the confidence useful for Nordic touring further into the backcountry.

Moderate fitness and some XC skiing experience (beginner+) required. Our itineraries are flexible and will be adjusted to suit both your ability and the snow/weather conditions. We recommend wider-type pattern/fishscale base metal edge skis designed for off-trail touring such as lightweight NNN-BC system skis which are widely available for hire on-mountain.
