A week in the backcountry, making fresh tracks, skiing steep couloirs and improving your off piste technique

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.

- Brevent and Flegere are arguably the most popular areas, with plenty of altitude, a variety of runs for both expert and beginners alike, as well as a great lift network.
- Being predominantly south facing they receive lots of sun.
- The two areas are connected via a lift, but all the other ski areas are independent of each other.
