Verbier has a high concentration of easily accessible, fun, steep skiing with plenty of interesting couloirs and steep faces to explore.
It is a friendly resort with a fantastic lift system connecting a huge area of skiing together, allowing us on our camps to cover a huge amount of terrain. It is often less intimidating than other resorts with little need for much rope work to access terrain and less high consequence.

Terrain, ability and who it is for
- If you are looking to join us for the first time, Verbier is a great option for your first steep skiing camp and the first introduction to skiing steeper terrain.
- The camps are designed to accommodate a range of skiers, from those just breaking into the steeps to those with many steep lines under their belt.
- No matter how experienced or how well you ski, you will learn and be challenged by the camps.
- As we usually have multiple groups on our camp we split the groups according to ability and fitness.
- Clients range in age from 16 to 75.
- You should be able to ski black and double black ski area runs with control and confidence.
- No ski mountaineering experience is required but if you have experience the camps will build on that experience.
- You will ski with one guide and up to three other skiers whose ability and fitness are similar to yours.
- We keep the camp ratio low for safety and for your enjoyment of skiing with skiers of a similar level.
- The great thing about the venues for these camps is that there is plenty of challenge for every skier at every level.
- Our guides can provide plenty of challenges for even the most accomplished skiers.
