They offer some of the best ski-guiding in Val d'Isère.
Off-piste and mountain guiding
Off-piste adventures with experienced English-speaking guides
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.
Where to meet
They meet right on the snow front in between Val d’Isère’s Village and Bellevarde Express chair lifts, and opposite Bananas restaurant and bar. Look for their trademark bright blue flags.
What to bring
