FAST PROGRESSION
CUSTOM MADE PRIVATE GUIDING WITH UIAGM MOUNTAIN GUIDES FOR RIDERS OF ALL LEVELS
We offer tailor-made snowboard and splitboard guiding for all abilities, from those who want to improve their technique in the backcountry, to experienced powder hounds who want to challenge themselves on some of Chamonix’s famous steep skiing lines such as the Pas de Chèvre or the Rectiligne couloir. Whether you’d like to ski the Vallee Blanche, explore open backcountry bowls at the Grands Montets, or venture further afield to Courmayeur and the Toula glacier, our Chamonix mountain guides are on hand to ensure you get the most from your off-piste riding experience with us.
Our private mountain guiding service offers complete flexibility; from one day to as many days as you like, your snowboard guide will work with you towards your own specific objectives, or simply take the strain away from finding the best conditions that day – maximising your holiday time in Chamonix.

Additional services
Airport transfers
We can help you to organise your transport to/from Chamonix. We work with well established airport transfer companies which use new and comfortable vehicles and which have the capacity and know-how to handle everything from delayed and cancelled flights, to unexpected traffic jams with professionalism and efficiency.
To book your transfer, we will need the following:
- Full name
- Mobile phone number
- Email address
- Your destination address
- Flight details (date, time and flight number)
SHARED TRANSFERS:
This is the most economic and ecologically friendly way of travel. The driver will meet and greet you at the airport, gather you and the rest of the passenger group together and then head off to your chosen destination. The door-to-door service means that you will be dropped off and picked up right at your hotel /chalet / apartment. From 40€ per person for one way and 80€ per person for a return trip.
PRIVATE TRANSFERS:
Private Transfers are the quickest way to get to and from the airport. Your driver will meet and greet you at the airport and guide you to your vehicle. There is no waiting for other passengers. Private transfers are available for one to eight person bookings and travelling together and you are guaranteed sole occupancy of the vehicle for your transfer. And, of course, it’s a door to door service, so you won’t be lugging any bags very far.

Search & Rescue Insurance
We don’t include mountain rescue insurance in any of our courses but we strongly recommend that you have it. Mountain rescue may be very expensive, particularly if helicopters are involved. Check with your travel insurance provider if you are covered for the specific activity you are going to do with us.
However, we can organise the mountain rescue insurance for you. Details of the insurance cover are different for EU and non-EU residents; please contact us for more information.
