Off-piste skiing lessons : Kids on Top

This mountain course is for skiers with a minimum level of Cristal de Diamant, able to handle any snow conditions and terrain. Comfort with easy off-piste skiing and powder skiing is a prerequisite.
A High Mountain Guide leads the entire course and accompanies the young participants throughout all activities. Rope handling, ski rappelling, off-piste skiing, ridge walking, mastering avalanche transceiver safety equipment – a packed program that adapts to weather and snow conditions as well as the students’ level. No mountain experience required! On the contrary, it’s a chance to discover or deepen these skills together with the guide.

The course’s goal is to help you discover the mountain from a different angle. You’ll learn to identify hazards, read them, and respond to them appropriately. At the same time, you’ll build your technical skiing skills in all snow conditions.
Weather and snow conditions determine how the activities unfold, in order to ensure safety and quality throughout the course. Return times may be delayed depending on the outings or conditions… All the details will be given by the guide before departure!

To reassure the parents: no need to worry, these outings are adapted to the students’ level. We don’t put anyone in dangerous or difficult situations – quite the opposite, the idea of the course is to discover the mountain in a new way and learn to read it, so it can be enjoyed safely. So it’s worth learning this from a young age!

Maximum 5 teens and/or adults per group, led by a high mountain guide.
Please note: this course does not include a medal – the reward lies elsewhere, far greater once you reach a mountain summit, with memories captured in the photos taken by our guides.

Christmas / New Year and February:
