This instruction week is a special week designed for good piste skiers, who want to push boundaries and get away from the piste slopes into making off-piste descents. With the motto "learning by doing", the guides give instruction in the off-piste skiing in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Simultaneously, they take you into the magnificent high-Alpine mountain world with its many glaciers and steep granite cliffs, which this unique area is famous for.
You can find all kinds of snow, deep powder to tricky snow board. Under those circumstances, we suggest a few fatski's (special wide diepsneeuwski's) to hire (on site per day). In good weather there are less beautiful slopes in the lower forests and experienced guides know the best places to find more.
Ilse on Grands Montets in Argentière
The Mont Blanc region is known for its unique off-piste opportunities on its many, sometimes steep, slopes and on the glaciers. The absolute highlight of this week is the spectacular 20 km long glacier descent of the Vallee Blanche. The starting point is the 3842 m high Aiguille du Midi cable car station and we end point 1000 m in Chamonix! (This is subject to change depending on weather conditions). Under good conditions, we can also do a nice up hill ski tour with a beautiful descent in the powder snow.
In the evenings you will enjoy a nice dinner in a local restaurant in the small town of Finhaut (included in the price). The lodge where you will be staying is equipped with a sauna, fireplace and free wifi. You will be staying in 2-4 person bedrooms with double beds or bunk beds (3 rooms available for max 7 participats - rooming list will be made depending on group composition).
