Itinerary
Ski Programme
This course is a fantastic opportunity for a small group of expert level skiers to spend a week with one of the best
steep skiing experts in the Alps.
The course is 5 days with 2 days of technical skills/preparation followed by 3 days of steep skiing - the itineraries and
routes will be set by Rémy depending on the snow and weather conditions.
In Rémy's words..."The goal of the course is to teach you safe technical skills & the necessary psychological attitude
to enjoy your passion safely."
Ski area
The skiing area of Chamonix is generally considered to have some of the best off-piste skiing in the world. Much of this
is accessible from the lift systems and includes descents of over 2000m. The Chamonix valley runs for 20kms and there are
several separate lift systems and mountains which provide enormous variety and all are included on the Mont Blanc pass.
