Activity description

Enjoy a 3-day backcountry skiing or snowboarding course in the Grand Massif ski area with a professional instructor and mountain guide.

The off-piste skiing/snowboarding training lasts three days. You have two options: the safety freeride course, or the freeride course.

The group lessons are limited to 5 students to guarantee a maximum of safety when you use the pistes and ski lifts. Your instructor will also be able to follow your progress and personalize his technical advice.

You'll be able to achieve several objectives depending on your level:
- Level 1: progress in backcountry skiing/snowboarding technique, learn to use an avalanche transceiver
- Level 2: ride in steeper slopes, risk management, and off-piste group evolution management
- Level 3: ride in couloirs, combes...

Your instructor will take into account the level of the group to choose the most suitable routes. They are located in wild coombs, at altitudes of between 1,400 and 2,500 meters. A good snow level is guaranteed as well as all types of orientations and routes (Alpine, forest...).
