Skiing or snowboarding off-piste is the ultimate adventure and a goal for many snowsports enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking for an intro session to dip your toes in the powder or want a local guide to take you on a backcountry adventure, we can help.
Find your off-piste ski or snowboard level with our handy guide to help you select the right lesson or adventure for your ability. The levels describe what level you are currently at and what you can already do, not what you will be learning in the lessons. These off-piste levels help us ensure that we select the perfect instructor for your lesson, so you can develop new off-piste skills and build confidence.
Then, once you’ve determined your level, find out what off-piste group lessons and off-piste private lessons we have on offer.

Our recommendations for you:
What happens if I’m in the wrong group?
We do our best to ensure that this doesn’t happen during the booking process. If your instructor feels that you are in the wrong group, however, we will do our best to move you into a more suitable level.
Are all your instructors English?
No. We are really proud of our diverse, fun and friendly international team. Boasting some of the best instructors from around the world. Hailing from England to Edinburgh, Austria to Australia, and everything in between. All of our instructors speak good English, and most importantly, they have extensive experience teaching in English. Many of our instructors are native English speakers but that’s not the only important factor we consider when we recruit our instructor team. Our instructors are carefully selected for their teaching ability, people skills, and passion for the sport, as well as their fluency in English. We think this makes our team a well-rounded bunch and it means that we also have other language skills should you require them.
How many adults are in group lessons?
What lift pass will I need for the lessons?
Depending on which resort you’re heading to, requirements will vary. Refer to the ski school pages for resort-specific recommendations.
Alternatively, we’re always here to help. Get in touch for more info about lift passes in your resort, and for your specific lesson.
Can I join a group lesson for half the week?
Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer to join a group for part of the week. It’s important each pupil is in the group for the entire week so that everyone progresses at a similar rate.
What happens if we miss a day of group lessons?
We are always sorry if you cannot make the lessons that you have booked, but if you do not attend the lesson on the day we cannot give a refund for the missed lesson or reschedule. We are happy to provide a letter for your insurance company in this instance. If you miss a day of a group lesson, it’s fine to come back the next day but know that you may find yourself behind the rest of the group and may need to be moved down a level if appropriate.
Will I need avalanche kit?
Yes, we always use avalanche kit when skiing or snowboarding off-piste. If you do not have your own, pleased contact us and we’ll bring kit for you to use.
Will I need touring kit?
Only the high-end groups like Backcountry Adventure or Advanced Off-Piste Adventure or will need touring kit. But that will be communicated ahead of time, so if you haven’t been told to bring snowshoes or ski touring kit don’t panic! If you have booked a private, please tell your instructor what you would like to do, so equally they can come prepared on the right equipment.
