1. Evolution 2 ski guides

Location
Val d’Isere

Evolution 2 has been instructing and guiding skiers around the Alps since 1987. If you want to experience what Tignes and Val d’Isère really has to offer, join the Evolution 2 team on one of their expeditions.

As well as offering off-piste private and group outings to help you improve and perfect your technique away from the groomed pistes, Evolution 2 also offers several ski tours where they will take you away from the beaten track and into the wilderness of the mountains around Val d'Isère.

All of their off-piste sessions, whether in a group or individually, come with free use of all necessary avalanche safety equipment. You will be briefed on how to use this equipment and trained in the proper procedure to follow in the event you’re caught in an avalanche.

Evolution 2 have two standard off-piste tours that you can join:

Toviére to Chevril (a reverse heliski experience)

  • suitable for both skiers and snowboarders
  • experience of different types of off-piste snow required
  • the instructor may adapt the route to take advantage of the best snow conditions
  • they provide you with ABS back-pack, transceiver, shovel and probe
  • maximum six people per guide

Oxygene Off Piste & Mountain Guiding, Val d'Isere

2. Oxygene off-piste and mountain guiding

Location
Val d’Isere

They offer some of the best ski-guiding in Val d'Isère.

Make the most of each powder day. If you want to explore the true terrain of the mountain, learn how to ski across powder and ride the line of the season, they are there to help.

They offer sessions for those that are just starting to explore off-piste through to those that already have plenty of experience and want to find the best powder spots in the valley. All their mountain guides are fully qualified and have plenty of experience in the local terrain.

They all speak English (other languages are also available) so you can relax and communicate with ease. They take safety seriously. That’s why when you book one of their lessons they provide transceivers, shovels, probes and ABS bags completely free of charge. 

At this school, they know how to handle the mountain with care.
