Course content

Winter course content: This all day course will explore the outer reaches of this huge ski area. Late February often provides great powder in the Alps and our coaches will spend their day taking you to the very best pitches and terrain.

Spring course content:   When this course runs in the spring we will explore the outer reaches of Les 3 Vallées ski domain. It’s the perfect time of year to enjoy the magical experience of ‘corn/spring’ snow and enjoy skiing all over the valleys.

Our team of coaches not only know where to find the very best snow but also where it is at specific times of the day. They will move around the mountain finding the best pitches and terrain as the sun softens the snow which makes for an amazing ski experience.

Both courses are based almost entirely off piste and you need to be equipped accordingly for back country skiing. Although we will return to the chalet each evening you will need to be fully equipped for back country skiing with transceiver, shovel and probe. You can hire this locally if needed.

Equipment needed

You will need to be fully equipped for back country skiing:

  • Avalanche kit – transceiver, shovel and probe (can be rented in resort)
  • 30 litre winter rucksack; water bottle / hydration pack
  • Suncream (factor 50+)
  • Sunhat
  • Helmet and warm hat
  • Sunnies and goggles
