5 Days

Jan - Apr, Dec

Description

Come with me on this awesome 5-day off-piste skiing & freeriding program in la Clusaz. During this trip our objectives will be to learn:

how to improve your freeride skiing technics;
how to evaluate and deal with risks when doing off-piste skiing;
how to use an avalanche transceiver, a shovel and probe.

Aside from learning techniques, we will enjoy great powder snow in area where nobody goes.

Please find below an example of program I like to organize during these 5 days:

DAY 1

We start the course in La Clusaz resort to do some group and technical level evaluation on some off-piste skiing slopes of the ski domain.

DAY 2

We will ski down some of the most famous off-piste skiing runs of La Clusaz: Ballachat, Tardevant, Fernui… During that day, we will learn some avalanche awareness tips. On request we can do some technical off piste skiing correction with a digital camera recorder.

DAY 3

During the 3rd day we will walk in order to join some virgin snow. We will find a very wild bowl, it will offer us a great off-piste skiing run.

DAY 4

After a warm up we will walk for 30 minutes in order to find one of the most hidden freeride skiing run of Les Aravis range. From there, we will have an incredible view on the Mont-Blanc massif.

DAY 5

To finish this off piste skiing trip in La Clusaz, we will drive to Chamonix. The 24 km descent of La Vallée Blanche takes us through the heart of the largest glacial area of the French Alps, at the bottom of Mont-Blanc and some other legendary peaks (Les Drus, Grande Jorasses…). The adventure starts at 3.842 m at the Aiguille du Midi to finish some 2800 m below in Chamonix.

This is an example of a possible La Clusaz off piste skiing 5-day trip. I reserve the right to change the program due to the clients’ skiing level, the weather and snow conditions.

I will take minium 4 skiers with me and max 8 in order to maximize the safety of the group and for everybody to have enough attention from to improve his off piste skiing technics.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you wish to join me during one of the freeride skiing trips I organize next winter in La Clusaz and Chamonix.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
