Guides & Tours in Verbier — 9 of Our Favourites

More than just a ski school, the instructors here are experienced in a wide range of fun winter activities and regularly offer snowshoe excursions throughout the season. These trips are a fantastic way to discover the pristine forests and hidden corners of the valley, away from the busy pistes and bustling mountain restaurants. They’re also a perfect option if you want a day off skiing or snowboarding while still getting some exercise and enjoying the mountains.

The instructors are an international team, all highly qualified and fully fluent in English, as well as a number of other languages.

With three different levels to choose from, there's something for all abilities. The green course is of an easy level, made up of eight challenges and a zip line. The blue course is of a medium level/difficulty, and is made up of nine challenges including a zip wire. It includes the 'Trublue Mobile,' a soft jump with horizontal movement, and the 'Saut Trublue,' a soft jump from a height of six metres and at a speed of two metres per second.

For the true adventurer, the red course is made up of 11 challenges and seven zip wires, with the 'Tyro/Saut,' a fast jump down a steep 45° incline, the 'Tyro Express,' a very steep zip wire with a braking system at the finish, and the 'Quick Jump' of nine metres with a ripcord (jump with 3.5-metre free fall at the start).

All equipment required (harness and helmet) is supplied by the Verbier Aerial Walkway team. The three courses provide increasing levels of difficulty and are at different heights depending upon the level.

It is not possible to book in advance, please contact the park directly or just turn up on the day to book your place.

Before exploring the legendary terrain of the 4 Vallées, your instructor will guide you through a thorough safety briefing. You’ll learn avalanche protocols, practise transceiver checks, and understand how to plan a safe route so you can enjoy the backcountry with confidence.

On the mountain, you’ll tackle off-piste terrain suited to your level, with coaching focused on powder skiing, variable snow conditions, and steeper slopes. Real-time tips and drills help you improve technique, build control, and gain confidence on freeride terrain.

At the end of your session, you’ll review your progress and receive personalised advice for further off-piste development, all while taking in the breathtaking alpine scenery that makes Verbier a world-class freeride destination. Every session blends technical instruction, safety, and the thrill of backcountry skiing, helping you push your skills to the next level.

Their standard meeting point is the Médran lift station, but we can also meet at Ruinette, Les Esserts, Savoleyres, Les Attelas, Le Chable lift station or at our partnered ski rental shop and café, Mountain Air, whichever is most convenient for you.
