Mountain Guides La Plagne — 7 of Our Favourites

Explore beyond the marked pistes

Off-piste skiing gives you the opportunity to discover a different side of La Plagne, from open mountain slopes and fresh powder to quieter routes away from the main pistes. Whether you're new to off-piste skiing or already have experience, there are different options to help you make the most of your time in the mountains.

Group off-piste lessons offer a chance to share the experience with other skiers, while tailor-made sessions allow you to focus on your own interests and goals. For more experienced skiers, an off-piste day with a high-mountain guide offers the opportunity to explore wider mountain terrain, discover lesser-known routes and enjoy a full day of adventure.

Ski touring and other mountain experiences

If you're looking for something different, ski touring combines climbing uphill on skins with skiing back down off-piste. It's a rewarding way to explore the mountains at a different pace, with routes and experiences depending on your ability and conditions.

You can also look into specialist off-piste and freeride options, including freeride snowboarding with an instructor-guide for suitably experienced snowboarders. With different formats available, you can choose an experience that matches your interests, whether you're looking to develop your technique or discover new terrain.

Experienced instructors and mountain guides

Exploring off-piste terrain requires a different approach to skiing on marked runs. Experienced instructors and high-mountain guides can help you understand the terrain, assess snow conditions and develop your mountain awareness, while sharing their knowledge of the local area.

Guidance on avalanche safety and the use of appropriate safety equipment are important parts of off-piste preparation. You'll need suitable equipment, including an avalanche transceiver (DVA), shovel and probe, and you should know how to use it. Off-piste skiing always involves risks, which cannot be eliminated, even when accompanied by a professional.

Choose the right experience for your level

Off-piste and mountain guiding options vary according to your experience and the type of outing you choose. Some group and tailor-made programmes require a validated Expert skiing level, while other discovery options may be available with an appropriate programme and assessment of your ability.

When booking, check the level requirements and explain your previous experience so that you can choose a suitable outing. Weather conditions, snow quality and avalanche risk can also affect the routes available, and outings may be changed or cancelled when conditions require it.

Whether you're hoping to improve your off-piste technique, try ski touring or spend a day exploring the mountains with a guide, these experiences offer a rewarding way to discover La Plagne beyond the pistes.

These activities are suitable for those over 18 years only.

Make the most of each powder day. If you want to explore the true terrain of the mountain, learn how to ski across powder and ride the line of the season, they are there to help.

They offer sessions for those that are just starting to explore off-piste through to those that already have plenty of experience and want to find the best powder spots in the valley.

All their mountain guides are fully qualified and have plenty of experience in the local terrain. They all speak English (other languages are also available) so you can relax and communicate with ease.

They take safety seriously. That’s why when you book one of their off-piste and guiding lessons, they offer transceivers, shovels, probes and ABS bags completely free of charge. At this school, they know how to handle the mountain with care.

In summer you can go hiking, mountaineering, canyoning, climbing and try via feratta. And in winter there is snow shoeing, ski touring, winter mountaineering and ice climbing.

They cover the whole of the Tarentaise but also lead guided tours to other popular mountain destinations such as Chamonix and Mont Blanc, Zermett and the Gran Paradiso in Italy.
