10 days of Freeride touring from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean

10 days of Freeride touring from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean And in between these two, no less than 300 ski resorts.
(1)

Picture the French Alps: a huge expanse of mountains running from lake Geneva in Switzerland to the Mediterranean. it makes you wonder… Could I link up resorts and ski the entire length from Switzerland to the mediterranean, and still make the most of skiing these massive infrastructures that are the european mega ski resorts. A group of free-minded skiers will make the first attempt this winter

between the 3rd and the 13th of February – integrating infrastructure with touring independence to ski village to village from Geneva to the Mediterranean – 460 km and 40,000 meters of vertical, all that for a measly 3500m of touring – in just 11 days while going through no less than 25 different ski resorts. The adventure is being organized by Stewart Shepard – a sports & tourism sustainability expert, sports journalist, and passionate skier. Other members of the group include Franziska Heidenreich, Head of Carbon Management at MyClimate and ski mountaineering guide; Dr. Eric Berlow, a TED senior fellow, founder of Tru North Labs, and professional telemark ski instructor; Pierre-Henri Vernet, French ski instructor; and professional skier Francois-Olivier Kern, and last but not least, Dr. Tobias Luthe, a research professor in sustainability sciences at the University of Chur’s Tourism Institute and ski mountaineering guide.. The trip is sponsored by Grown Skis – the lowest carbon footprint ski on the market and ABS, the avalanche airbag company.

It is all about people and nature: Stewart Sheppard is the actual inventor of the original TransFrance ski safari - 10 days of Freeride touring from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean. The original tour connected about 30 ski resorts with 400km on skis and 40'000m vertical skiing. The TransOccitan ski safari of this year is a shorter variant with a finish in Italy at the MonViso Institute.
Stewart is a Telemark and alpine freeride skier. He is a sustainability strategist and has worked with many dozens of ski stations and destinations on assessing and improving their pathways towards sustainability. Thanks Stewart for bringing this to life++

Seems there will be enough snow for our upcoming trip from Mont Blanc to Monte Viso. Hopefully avy danger will settle again soon...

A super storm with a core pressure of 960 hPa determines the weather in the Alps in the coming days. A lot of snow comes down until next weekend and the Alps...

The snow is here - after the French side of the Occitan Alps the Italian side has been getting hammered too.

With some settling of the snow cover and colder temperatures the ski year 2018 looks quid promising ;)

Fantastic snow after a sunny, dry and mild switch into the New Year.

Attention though to all skiers - currently avalanche danger 5 out of 5, Very High!

It's Puking in the Piedmont;) But let's wait for things to settle...
