Where the real adventures begins

Skiing off-piste allows us to rediscover the ski resort from another perspective. Getting away from crowded pistes and discovering new types of terrain is all part of the fun. As your confidence grows in this off-piste setting, the real adventures begin; high mountains, wild valleys, couloirs or forests. The aim of this game is to find the best untouched snow.

The day

You will meet your guide at an agreed location near to your chosen resort, this will be decided the day before.

All safety equipment (shovel, DVA, probe, harness) will be provided by the guide as required. An avalanche transceiver check will be complete before you commence the day. Your guide will have planned a route that explores the best elements of your chosen resort.

For lunch you can specify a choice of one of the piste restaurants or bring a picnic (at your own expense). Traditionally you would provide the guide with lunch.
