Mountain Guides Verbier — 3 of Our Favourites

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.

Private lessons

Experience the freeride adventure alone or with friends, guided by a private instructor. Build complete confidence in powder skiing as an off-piste expert takes you through Verbier’s most beautiful and challenging terrain. Whether you want to refine your technique or explore hidden corners of the mountain, these personalised lessons are tailored entirely to your level and goals.

Group lessons

Required level: comfortable on black slopes and off-piste.

Join a small group of like-minded skiers or snowboarders for an action-packed freeride experience. The programme includes black runs, off-piste routes, powder initiation, moguls, couloirs, jumps, rails, and snowpark features. You’ll also gain essential knowledge on avalanche safety and off-piste awareness.

Learn and improve your technique with guidance from experienced instructors and competitors, who focus on teaching in the best conditions while keeping fun at the heart of every session. Group lessons are a perfect way to enjoy freeride skiing with friends while progressing safely and confidently.

Whether you're new to off-piste terrain, or you're an experienced freerider, you should strongly consider being guided by a qualified freeride coach. This will enable you to increase your understanding of the risks involved, learn the safety measures that need to be taken and explore the vast possibilities the back country has to offer.

This school offers freeride lessons in both skiing and snowboarding, for adults and children of all levels and each session will be specifically tailored to your requirements so that you can learn at a pace that suits you.

You can have up to four people in any one group (for the same price) as long as you are all of a similar level. Additional people can join for a small supplement per person up to a maximum of six clients per group.
