SKi Lessons

A number of ski & snowboard schools offer expert tuition to all levels. Beginners are very well catered for on the gentler slopes of Les Esserts and La Chaux. Experienced skiers may fancy heading off-piste down the legendary Mont Gele and Mont Fort.

Whatever your level, we have contacts across the schools. Please get in touch for help in organising a lesson.

Ski Guiding & Touring

Those with good sense of adventure can hire a ski guide and strike out in search of fresh & exciting snow. Far away from the crowds of the piste, a guide can safely show you the lesser known off-piste runs.

Explore further into the mountains with a day tour and take advantage of the extensive lift network. Speak with us for referrals or visit www.powder-extreme.com or www.guideverbier.com
