PRIVATE OFF-PISTE GUIDING NENDAZ, SWITZERLAND

Confident, comfortable skiing on-piste on red runs is a good starting point. We'll always match the terrain to your ability on the day.

Yes - you'll need an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe as a minimum. If you don't have your own, we can advise on rental options locally in Nendaz.

Off-piste always carries inherent risk, which is why every day is led by an instructor holding the Brevet Fédéral - the Swiss qualification permitting off-piste instruction - with deep local knowledge of the terrain, snowpack and current conditions. We tailor the route and pace to keep things enjoyable and appropriately safe for your ability.

Absolutely - your first off-piste experience is a great place to start. We'll begin on more accessible terrain suited to you, and build your confidence in variable snow at your own pace before progressing further.

Yes - off-piste days are fully private, so it can be just you or a small group of friends/family skiing together with your own instructor.

As early as possible, especially during school holidays and peak weeks, as availability is limited with private instruction.

Safety comes first - if conditions aren't right for off-piste, we'll adapt the day to excellent on-piste coaching instead, so your day on the mountain isn't wasted.

Yes - all clients must have their own personal insurance covering off-piste skiing specifically, including piste rescue and medical costs. Standard on-piste-only policies often don't cover off-piste terrain, so it's worth double-checking before booking.

Not necessarily - it depends on where the day's route takes you. We'll confirm exactly what's needed once we've planned your day.

Yes - buying your lift pass online in advance (rather than at the ticket office) gets you a discount on daily passes, so it's worth booking ahead of your trip.
