This is the trip for you that haven't yet tried off-piste skiing at all, or only tried a little bit.

Together we ski powder as much as we can during a week. It is not so difficult if the snow is soft and nice. But it's not always soft, so we will practice at all types of snow.

The layout is simple, a small group of skiers and a mountain guide with a van meet at the airport and drive to where the riding is the best.

The riding
  • During this week we take advantage of the fact that the Alps are the most lift-dense mountains in the world.
  • Most of the runs are made with a lift as a starting point. However, sometimes a short hike with your skis over your shoulder or on your backpack is really worthwhile.
  • Quite often groups also wish to explore the back-country on skins which is of course also an option; touring equipment is not mandatory to join this trip.
