A week in the backcountry, making fresh tracks, skiing steep couloirs and improving your off piste technique
Spend a week discovering some of the best backcountry that the area has to offer. This course is suitable for advanced to expert skiers who already have some experience skiing off piste (generally for those who have taken the intro to off piste week-long course and/or have completed full off piste itineraries) and feel ready to hit the backcountry in search for hidden gems and epic descents.

Ski area
- Argentière shares the same ski areas as Chamonix, the world famous ski resort.
- The skiing is varied and vast, but tends to favour the more advanced skier and especially those who are into off piste and high mountain adventures.
- There are some beginner slopes at Grands Montets and Le Tour (Vormaine) which are great for those starting out, but once you reach the intermediate stage, Chamonix valley is a little more challenging.
- It is without a doubt a great place to progress, but it lacks those long cruisy pistes which other resorts can offer.

The centre
UCPA Argentiere is located on the village main high street, metres away from the local bars, bakeries and shops. The historic Victorian building was fully refurbished in 2013 making it one of the newest and most comfortable UCPA centres. Within the centre there are multiple secure equipment rooms, drying rooms, a dining hall, a bar and plenty of social space to relax. The outdoor pool is closed in the winter.
Multishare rooms
The shared rooms at Argentiere are modern and comfortable. The bathrooms are shared on each floor and are well maintained.
Groups who are on our system together as a group are typically roomed together in a combination that works. If your group size is bigger than the room size, or if you want your group to be split for rooming, then it's best to email the UCPA centre directly around 2 weeks before travel.
Where possible, solo travellers are roomed with others of the same gender.
Twin rooms
There are some twin rooms at UCPA Argentiere, with shared bathrooms. They are available to book for a supplement per person when making the booking. Please note single occupancy in twin rooms is not possible as courses are curated on a per bed basis.
