Off piste progression courses

Chamonix Experience offers a range of backcountry ski courses for all levels. We work with some of the best ski instructors and UIAGM mountain guides to maximize your progression and enhance your experience.

Chamonix is the birthplace of off-piste skiing and is widely known as a mecca for freeride skiing. The backcountry terrain is extensive and much of it is easily accessible for those who know where to safely go.

We offer chamonix off piste courses for all abilities; from complete off piste beginners, to those who want to improve their technique in the backcountry, and even experienced powder hounds who can’t resist the challenge of some of Chamonix’s steep skiing such as the ENSA couloir or Cosmiques couloir.

Whatever your standard, we have an off-piste ski course for you so contact us now with your requirements and let us plan the rest.

Beginner

You have a good level skiing on piste, and are comfortable skiing on all groomed runs, making small turns, turning on demand, and skiing moguls/ bumps. You have no experience venturing off – piste, and would like to get further from the lifts – skiing powder and “natural” mountain snow.

Advanced

You already have experience backcountry or side country skiing and you can descend in various snow types, without falling (excessively…) or stopping. You’re comfortable on slopes up to 35°. You enjoy off piste skiing and you wish to improve your technique and style.
