The levels : Télémark skiing

Level 1: beginner

I have never practised telemark skiing.
My skiing level allows me to ski in all types of snow on red slopes in resorts and off-piste.
My physical condition allows me to walk for 4 to 5 hours.
I would like to take a gentle introduction to this activity and learn how to progress uphill in sealskin and Telemark downhill. Discover the mountains in wintertime away from the ski resorts.

Level 2: advanced

I have a good grounding in telemark skiing.
I’ve already done several telemark or ski touring summits during my holidays.
I can ski downhill in all types of snow.
I do endurance sport on a regular basis and can walk for 5 to 6 hours with 800m of ascent and descent.
I’d like to improve my skiing and develop new technical skills, both uphill and downhill and climb some beautiful peaks.

Level 3: expert

I’ve been practicing telemark skiing for several years.
I have good experience of the mountain in winter conditions.
I’ve already used an avalanche transceiver. I have some knowledge of snow conditions
I am physically fit and have very good stamina.
I’d like to progress technically to be able to ski more difficult summits, both up and down. I’d like to learn how to use an avalanche transceiver effectively and improve my ability to assess the snow condition to become more autonomous.

Endurance sports are a type of physical exercise of long duration and moderate intensity but which is sufficient to increase heart rate and energy expenditure without causing breathlessness. For example, running for at least 45 minutes or walking at a brisk pace, cycling, etc,
It helps develop the capacity of the cardio-respiratory system to sustain prolonged effort and is essential for mountaineering.
