Off Piste Skiing
Off piste skiing is more accessible than ever before, due to the design and developments of modern skis and equipment.
Are you enjoying your annual ski holiday but a little bored of cruising the pistes? Why not take the next step and explore further from the piste?
Full instruction in avalanche awareness and safety are part of any trip including the selection and use of avalanche transceivers. We can offer a guided adventure taking you to the best snow on the mountain or structure your trip towards giving you the skills to take your first turns away from the piste on your own. Why not join us for an early season mountain safety weekend preparing you for the rest of the season?
Experience
We can offer off piste skiing at all levels from those taking there first turns away from the piste to full on back country adventure. We can organize a mixed week of expert ski instruction and guiding. The only thing we would advise is that any group be of similar ability to get the most from the trip.

Venues?
Our base in Chamonix is at the heart of some of the best off-piste skiing in the world. We regularly ski all over the Chamonix valley but ski a lot in the lesser known resorts of St Gervais, Megeve, Les Contamines, Courmayeur and many smaller resorts as well.
Our guides can take you to some of the lesser known spots to make sure you get the best of the freshies and add a more exciting but safe element to your ski holiday.
How Long?
