We are unable to provide off-piste lessons in La Plagne at this time. If you’re after private off-piste lessons in St Anton or Verbier, please click here.
Introduction
We offer both off-piste lessons and off-piste guiding. So whether you’ve never ventured outside of the piste markers, or you’re looking for hidden powder stashes, we’ll help you find fresh tracks and teach you to ski them with style.
Please note, avalanche safety equipment will be required for most off-piste lessons unless you’re learning techniques within the piste markers. If you do not have your own we may have some we can loan you, or we can advise you where you can hire it.
And while we really love taking you on these adventures, each session is condition dependent and the safety of you and our instructors is paramount.
Off-Piste Levels
Off-Piste Level 1
I’m happy skiing or boarding on all pistes. I can link turns and stop safely on steep slopes. I’m physically fit and have a go-getter attitude.
Off-Piste Level 2
I’m happy and confident skiing or snowboarding off-piste in moderate terrain.
Off-Piste Level 3
I’m happy skiing or snowboarding off-piste in all conditions including steep terrain and narrow couloirs. I thoroughly understand off-piste safety procedures and have practised with avalanche safety equipment.
Off-Piste Level 4
You’re confident skiing or snowboarding off-piste in all conditions and terrain, including steep and narrow couloirs. In almost all situations, you ski fluidly and actively seek challenging terrain and snow conditions.

Top Tips
- If you’re out with us all day, and we’re heading into the backcountry, we might stop at a refuge. Or we might grab lunch on the mountain if you’re skiing with us all day, so bring a sandwich in your backpack or bring some money for a bite to eat. Your instructor will inform you of lunch plans beforehand.
- If you have avalanche equipment, please bring your own. We can provide avalanche equipment if necessary. Please inform us beforehand so we can prepare the equipment for you.
- Please bring a mobile phone with you.
- Please wear a helmet for all off-piste lessons.
- Make sure you’ve got a piste map in your pocket (you can pick them up from most lift stations or the tourist office.)
Additional Information
- As these are private lessons, you decide what you want to work on and we can help you achieve it!
- Share the lesson with a friend of a similar level or focus on yourself in a one-on-one.
