How it works:
Jump out of bed early and head to the shop to collect your e-bike and protective gear. Then, with electric assistance, pedal up to a local viewpoint with a guide to watch the sunrise before enjoying the descent back to the resort.
Alternatively, you can rent a bike yourself for one or two hours in the afternoon and head up the hill for a fun-filled ride down the snow.

This school was formed in 2012 by a small group of experienced and dedicated ski guides who wanted to re-kindle the 'club' atmosphere of teaching snowsports.

Whether you want to try off-piste skiing for the first time, improve your technique or have a go at ski touring, they have instructors and guides available to help.
Val d'Isère is a great resort for off-piste adventures, from gentle ‘beginner’ slopes to thrilling gravity runs, steep couloirs and tree skiing. The experienced team can find you the most beautiful spots, the best snow and the best conditions every day.
Tuition and guiding is all on a private basis, limited to a maximum of six people per group for the comfort and safety of all concerned. Their instructors will help you improve your technique off-piste, discover new routes, perhaps try your hand at ski touring and of course find the best snow available for you to enjoy.
Depending on conditions, you can also ski in other nearby resorts such as Sainte Foy, Les Arcs/La Plagne and La Rosiere/La Thuile (worth it just for the pasta!).
