Intro to Off-Piste Clinic Verbier

If you’re confident on-piste in Verbier and you’re ready to step properly into un-groomed snow, this clinic is the most confidence-building start.

You’ll work on the foundations that make powder and variable snow feel “skiable” rather than survival-based:
– building a stance that stays stable when the snow changes
– managing speed without relying on hard edges
– choosing simple, low-consequence lines that let you learn faster

Alongside the skiing, we’ll cover the practical essentials of off-piste awareness and equipment. You’ll finish the clinic with better technique, clearer judgement, and a plan for how to keep progressing safely in Verbier.

Equipment: transceiver, shovel, probe (let us know if you need to borrow kit).

Intermediate Off-Piste Clinic Verbier

This is for skiers who can already link turns off-piste on easier terrain, but want to ski more of Verbier with better control—especially when snow gets tracked, chopped, or wind-affected.

Expect plenty of coaching while you ski:
– turn shape choices for steeper and tighter terrain
– staying balanced through inconsistent snow
– adapting rhythm, speed, and line choice around terrain features
– smarter tactics for managing fatigue and maintaining flow

You’ll also revisit the habits that matter most in Verbier: reading daily conditions, understanding what “ungroomed” really means, and keeping your margin for error where it needs to be.

Equipment: transceiver, shovel, probe (we can provide if needed).

Advanced Off-Piste Clinic Verbier

Verbier is full of serious terrain—and this clinic is for skiers who want to level-up how they handle it.

If you’re already comfortable skiing off-piste on steeper gradients and you want to refine your technique, this is the “make it look and feel easier” option:
– steeper-snow tactics (timing, pressure control, and turn completion)
– coping with exposure and tighter terrain
– controlling speed when the fall line gets serious
– improving efficiency so you can ski stronger for longer

Advanced clinics are performance-driven. We’ll still operate with a safety-first mindset, but you can expect the focus to be more on coaching and decision-making in technical terrain.

Equipment: transceiver, shovel, probe.

Expert Off-Piste Clinic Verbier

If you actively seek challenging freeride terrain and you want coaching that matches the level, this is where Verbier really shines.

Your instructor will use the terrain available on the day to push performance:
– steep skiing skills and tactics (including precision turn options when needed)
– confident line choice in complex terrain
– adapting instantly to changing snow texture and visibility
– staying composed under pressure, so you ski “on purpose” rather than reactively

This is not about ticking off a specific run. It’s about building the skills and judgement to ski expert terrain with consistency—whatever the mountain serves up.

Equipment: transceiver, shovel, probe.

Intro to Ski Touring Verbier

Touring is one of the best ways to experience a quieter side of Verbier—earning turns, finding untracked snow, and learning a new set of mountain skills.

This clinic is designed as a supportive first step:
– touring kit basics (skins, transitions, and efficient movement)
– pacing and uphill technique (including kick-turn fundamentals)
– simple planning: where to go, when to go, and what to avoid
– descending in variable snow after an ascent (the part people forget to train!)

If you’ve been curious about touring but don’t want to jump straight into a big day, this is the perfect “try it properly” format.

Equipment: touring skis + skins, plus transceiver/shovel/probe.

Touring and Backcountry Verbier

For confident off-piste skiers who want to go beyond lift-accessed terrain, this format blends touring skills with real backcountry decision-making.

You’ll focus on:
– planning and adapting a route to conditions
– efficient transitions and movement in the mountains
– snowpack awareness and smart terrain choices
– linking high-quality descents with the right safety margins

This is a big step up in both skills and commitment. If you want to explore the wider Verbier backcountry in a structured way—with coaching and guidance—this is it.

Equipment: touring kit + transceiver/shovel/probe. Strong fitness recommended.

4 Hour Private Off-Piste Lesson Verbier

A private half-day is the most flexible way to experience off-piste in Verbier—perfect if you want a focused session that fits around your holiday plans.

Choose your goal:
– first turns in soft snow, with a calm, confidence-first approach

You can book solo, as a couple, or share the cost with friends or family (up to 6). Your instructor will match the venue to your ability, the weather, and the snow—so the session stays fun, safe, and productive.

Equipment: transceiver/shovel/probe (we can provide if requested in advance).

7 Hour Private Off-Piste Lesson Verbier

If you want the full freeride experience, go all-day. A 7-hour private gives you time to explore more of the 4 Vallées, chase the best conditions, and still get plenty of coaching along the way.

This is the best choice if you:
– want to cover distance and sample different sectors
– like the idea of a steady progression through the day (warm-up → coaching → bigger objectives)
– want maximum flexibility (pace, breaks, and priorities)

If you’re searching for an off piste guide Verbier for a big adventure day, this is the option that unlocks the most.

Equipment: transceiver/shovel/probe (request in advance if you need to borrow kit).

What to expect from off-piste lessons in Verbier

A few days before you ski, we’ll send you a practical email with your meeting point and everything you need for a smooth start.

On the day, we’ll begin with a quick check-in: goals, recent experience, and a simple warm-up so your instructor can confirm the best terrain and pace for you (or your group). From there, it’s a blend of coaching and guided skiing—short, clear feedback you can apply immediately, followed by skiing the kind of snow you came to Verbier for.

Off-piste is never one-size-fits-all. Wind, visibility, and avalanche risk can change the plan quickly, so we choose the right sector for the conditions. Sometimes that means high alpine bowls; sometimes it means more sheltered terrain so you can keep learning even on challenging weather days.

You’ll leave with:
– clearer technique for variable snow
– better tactics for choosing and skiing lines
– stronger off-piste judgement and safer habits in the mountains

Where you’ll meet

In Verbier, our standard meeting point is Arctic Juice café, next to the W Hotel and opposite the Médran lift station. If your day requires a different start point (for example, a touring-specific meet), we’ll confirm that in advance.

What to bring

Essentials:
– Helmet, goggles/sunglasses, gloves, and waterproof layers
– Lift pass (we’ll advise which pass fits your plan)
– Small backpack with water + snacks
– Sunscreen

Off-piste safety kit:
– Transceiver, shovel, probe (let us know ahead of time if you need to borrow kit)

Nice-to-have:
– Small first aid kit
– Spare gloves / buff
– Spare batteries (especially in cold spells)
