Off Piste Course ADVANCED
Become a better and safer off-piste skier!
Chamonix stands out as one of the off-piste and extreme ski capitals of the world. What could be a better place for an off-piste course? The main ski areas of the Grands Montets, Brévent, Flégère and Le Tour take on a whole new dimension when you venture away from the groomed runs.
Designed for those who want to both learn and explore, our 6 day off-piste course offers a mix of instruction and off-piste guiding, during which you will be able to improve both your technique and mountain safety skills at the same time as skiing one of the best off-piste areas in the world.
| Course | Start date | End date | Price |
|---|
During this 6 day off-piste course you get similar knowledge as you would get from doing a one day Crevasse Rescue Course and the one day Avalanche Awareness course.
The Mont Blanc Unlimited lift pass, also included in the course, gives you not only access to all lifts in the Chamonix valley (excluding Les Houches) but also free skiing in Courmayeur on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc range. Both areas have amazing off-piste skiing and are often a good alternative should the weather and conditions be less favourable on the the Chamonix side. With all these choices and the local knowledge of our off-piste guides, you are certain to find good off-piste skiing every day.
To maximise your time and your skiing Seb tailors the programme to suit weather, conditions and the overall level of the group. Every day he will choose the area offering the best off-piste skiing at the moment.
EXTRA - Video analysis with Sebastien
A great way to improve your off piste technique is to watch yourself skiing. During the courses guided by Sebastien, he will film you and take some time to analyse your technique whilst you enjoy a hot drink in the relaxing atmosphere of the Chamonix Experience coffee shop.
