Alpine & Ski Touring trips

Line choice, climbing, and snow at its best

Two different ways to experience winter: Alpine touring or Randonnée touring

We travel in small groups to carefully selected locations, with local guides, excellent logistics, and accommodation that brings peace to the body after a long day in the snow.

Alpine touring with Expa – more than just slopes and after-ski

Always searching for great snow and great people.
This is all about lift-based skiing – from freshly groomed slopes to forest skiing and freeriding when conditions allow. We choose destinations where you get the absolute most out of your skiing day: ski in/ski out, variety in the terrain, and cozy mountain huts for lunch with a view.

Ski by day – enjoy the evening.
We stay close to the resort, often in family-run hotels with great food and a warm atmosphere. The days are shared with people who enjoy the same things you do – without hassle, without a show. Just pure skiing joy.

Suitable for:

  • Those who enjoy the lifts and slopes (all levels)

  • Those who want the choice between groomed slopes and off-piste (depending on conditions/guide)

  • Groups of friends, families, and corporate groups

Typical destinations:
Norway + the Alps (Italy, Austria, Switzerland, France) – places we have personally tested.

Randonnée tours – rhythm up, flow down

Route selection, ascent, and snow at its best.
This is ski touring on skins, with safe route planning and descents adapted to conditions and levels. We go in small groups with experienced guides who know the mountains – and select lines that offer both peace and flow.

A real "outdoor day" – all day long.
Focus on movement, rhythm, and the experience of nature: climbing at a steady pace, taking breaks in sheltered spots, and that great feeling when you click off your skins and point your skis downhill. The evening is nicely wrapped up at a mountain lodge or a small hotel – warm, simple, and comfortable.

Suitable for:

  • Those who enjoy full-day outings outdoors and have basic skiing skills in varied snow

  • Those who want to learn more about route selection/safety – or build further on their experience

  • Small groups of friends and corporate groups who want "the real winter"

Prerequisites and safety:

  • Normal fitness level, basic off-piste skiing technique

  • Avalanche transceiver, probe search, shovel (can be rented where possible)

  • The guide assesses the route/conditions – safety always comes first

Typical destinations:
Norwegian mountains + the Alps (Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy).
