Patouschuss is a ski touring event in Saint-Lary-Soulan, organized by the Saint-Lary-Aure-Montagne club. It begins at Pla d’Adet and is designed for both regular competitors and individuals seeking to try ski touring in a structured setting. The format includes two options: a timed race for competitors and a non-timed option open to the general public.
The route follows the ski slopes, making it more accessible than a backcountry course. The organizers present the day as a mountain-skiing meeting where experienced racers and newcomers can participate together, without the pressure of results for all. The event is organized and secured, offering beginners a controlled introduction to ski touring.
