Off-Piste Adventure
Our Off-Piste Adventure courses are always led by IFMGA Mountain Guides.
On these trips the emphasis is on where, rather than how, you ski. Each day you'll set out with your Guide to ski the best snow
and off-piste terrain combined with general coaching, tips and hints and sessions on mountain & avalanche awareness.
Our adventure courses are open to experienced off-piste skiers and snowboarders only. If you are looking for a full week of
exhilarating and challenging riding away from the crowded pistes, then these courses are for you.
