Mountain guides
Ski guiding, off-piste, glacier skiing, or take on the famous Vallée Blanche
Trust this local team of High Mountain Guides (UIAGM), ski and snowboard instructors, all of whom have the highest level of state qualifications.
Chamonix has some of the most famous off-piste skiing and snowboarding in Europe, if not the world.
You may think powder snow and off-piste is only for experts. If you've always wanted to try skiing in powder or venturing off-piste, their team of mountain guides (who are also ski and snowboard instructors) can teach you the techniques whilst taking care of your safety. They will ensure you enjoy the Chamonix mountains in winter as never before.
Their high mountain guides can guide you through some spectacular back country skiing, including the Vallée Blanche glacier - a 23km downhill that includes 19km of glacier with 2,800m of vertical descent. You can also receive training in avalanche awareness and mountaineering.
They will always ensure you ski and snowboard the right slope at the right time according to your skill and ability.
If you're more experienced and looking to try more challenging off-piste action you must try the Grand Montets from the top lift. Ski on glaciers, discover another way of skiing in a different setting, get away from the piste in utmost security and if you need, your guide will offer professional coaching and advice to improve your skills.
Skiers or snowboarders must be able to comfortably ski red pistes, control their speed, sideslip, ski at a safe speed and follow in tracks. Having off-piste skiing experience is better, but your mountain guide ski instructor can coach you along the route to maximise your enjoyment and enable you to improve your skills!
All their team are fluent in English and French to ensure effective communication and understanding when high up on the mountain.
