Ski Guiding

Chamonix is world famous for its off-piste skiing and boarding.  It is a fact that the endless miles of untouched powder are the main reason why people revisit year after year.  Due to this, coupled with their experience for finding the best conditions, we always recommend using a qualified ski guide.  All the guides we use are IFMGA qualified and they will help reduce the dangers to a minimum.  They will also ensure through local knowledge of weather systems and snow conditions that you go to the best areas in the Valley and areas which will suit your ability.  Remember you don’t have to be an excellent skier or boarder to enjoy the off-piste.

La Vallée Blanche is an off-piste route recognised throughout the world and can be sampled by intermediate skiers with a head for heights.  It is truly breathtaking with miles of huge seracs, massive granite cliffs and soaring snowy peaks.  Given the right conditions and the correct guide it is not as difficult as legend has it.

We've had wonderful experiences with many of the guides so if you would like to discuss which may suit best then please do not hesitate to contact us.
 
Other activities which may appeal include ice climbing, snow shoeing, paragliding (winter as well as summer) and ski touring.

Guiding will cost around €300 per day for a group of up to six people.  It is usually possible to add to this, but at an extra cost per person.  Booking a ski guide requires a deposit of €50, which is refundable if the guide considers the conditions unsuitable.
