The Freeride

Freeriding is for me the best goal of any snow sport. That’s why I want to share my greatest passion with you. We will go down faces accessible by “gravity ” (from the ski lifts) or we will go to small hidden places within reach of any skier or snowboarder.

My freeride lessons will not only be based on the discovery of the landscape, but also on technical teaching of skiing and snowboarding on all types of snow and terrain. “Riding light is good for your health.

Learn to observe the quality and layers of snow in order to identify areas at risk of avalanche and to ride with maximum safety. Learn how to effectively use your avalanche transceiver , shovel and probe. Create a group cohesion, mutual aid…

To sum up, you are here to explore your playground to the fullest by exploiting your tool to its fullest.

Ski touring

Let me make you dream, I’ll take you to my office… Whether you like ski touring or extreme sports, I’ll take you away from the slopes, to the calm and serenity.

Magnificent landscapes guaranteed, you’ll be amazed! Full day or half day excursions. Backpack with shovel, probe and DVA provided. If you need additional material? I will advise you.

Possibility of making night outings. Seeing these billions of stars sparkling on the snowy slopes is absolutely sumptuous. What to say about the nights of full moon…

Ski raids

Spend the night in the mountains. 3 options:

  • Sleeping in a mountain refuge
  • Sleeping under the tent (comforter, mattress… equipment provided –> rented by a company)
  • Sleep in an igloo built by the group. Learning how to survive in the mountains.

The ski raids allow you to go much further than in a day trip and thus discover absolutely sumptuous landscapes.

Heli-skiing

Heli-skiing is a very high-tech approach to the mountains that will allow you to ride where you would never have imagined putting your “boards”. Unlike other forms of skiing, heli-skiing allows you to access untouched powder and untouched runs that are often inaccessible by other means. The experience is indescribable and unlike anything else.

Imagine yourself on a beautiful day, hurtling down a pristine mountain, with nothing but blue skies and snow-capped peaks around you. It’s an incredible feeling that can only be experienced by heliskiing.

Are you looking for adventure and thrills? You have two options:

Transfer by helicopter

From the airport to the station (DZ: Drop Zone) it is the most convenient and quickest way of transportation than the cab.

Or during a day of skiing in the 3 valleys area (for example) you have the possibility to leave far away on the area without worrying about the time to return and thus enjoy the slopes and restaurants far from the starting station.

Removal

Being dropped off by a helicopter at the top of a virgin mountain and then skiing or snowboarding down it. Once we arrive at the bottom, the helicopter comes to pick us up to do another tour on another mountain or to return to the starting point. (in short, the dream day of every experienced skier).

Program of the day :

Morning : off-piste on the 3 valleys

End of the morning: off-road which brings us to the place of the meal. (a descent of about 1 hour)

Meal : lost in the middle of nowhere, the owner of the chalet welcomes you and prepares a typical Savoyard lunch (home-made pâté, dried charcuterie on the spot, “croziflette”, Savoyard cheeses matured on the spot, dessert, genepi…)

Back to the Val-Thorens drop-zone by helicopter, a few off-piste runs to finish the day and enjoy the fabulous colors of the sunset behind the white peaks…
