Level requirements
- You already have experience backcountry or side country skiing and you can descend in various snow types, without falling (excessively…) or stopping. You’re comfortable on slopes up to 35°. You enjoy off piste skiing and you wish to improve your technique and style.
- This off-piste performance ski course is designed for intermediate off piste skiers with some prior experience skiing off-piste. To get the most out of the course, you should meet the following requirements:
- You are confident skiing black pistes and moguls with minimal stopping and can handle tracked-out off-piste terrain commonly found in major ski resorts.
- You may lack confidence in deep, untracked snow, especially when there’s no firm base, and are looking to improve your technique in these conditions.
- You’re not afraid of varied snow types (powder, crust, spring snow), though skiing them remains a technical challenge you want to overcome.
- You can make controlled turns on slopes up to 35° and are comfortable navigating moderate off-piste descents.
- You have a good level of physical fitness, ready for full days on the mountain and short uphill climbs.

- Day 1: Le Tour & Col de BalmeLe Tour is a good place for your mountain guide to assess everyone’s ski level and run through the basics of mountain safety and avalanche awareness. The off-piste at Le Tour is easily accessible and of a gentle gradient. It also offers brilliant tree skiing and long runs to Switzerland over the Col de Balme. The back bowls of le Tour are also perfect for studying how wind, terrain and temperatures affect the snow pack and avalanche risk, so here is where we will do our avalanche awareness training to get the week off to a safe start.
