A new run every day, come and explore one of the most famous ski resort in the Swiss Alps. Verbier offers a great variety of ski runs and for those who are prepared to skin for one hour or two, unrestricted access to an amazing back country. Your guide will adapt the program to the general level of the group but also to the snow condition. At the end of the day, you will have the chance to discuss with him the objective for the next day.

Our freeride seminars are safety orientated. More than just a theoretical snow and avalanche course : practical field work… your guide will show you how to use rescue devices, how to read and understand the signs that the mountains give us.

Practical application of new skills is for us much more efficient than an out of context course. If you join us, feel free to set your objectives with your guide at the beginning of your trip, to get more than powder and meters… but also a technical background for a safer practice.
