Beyond the pistes, into the quieter side of the mountain.

the day

A different way to experience Megève.

Leave the groomed pistes behind and explore the mountain with a guide who knows its terrain intimately. The day moves through powder, natural lines and quieter corners, with the route shaped around the conditions and the ability of the group. It is skiing with more freedom, and a closer connection to the mountain.

The lesson

More mountain, more freedom.

An experienced instructor takes you beyond the marked runs, choosing terrain according to the snow, weather and group. When conditions align, the reward is fresh powder, untouched lines and the feeling of having a much larger mountain to explore.

The expertise

Small groups, shaped around the conditions.

Sessions last around three and a half hours, with no more than five skiers grouped according to ability. The smaller format allows the pace and terrain to adapt throughout the session, making it well suited to confident skiers ready to move beyond the pistes.

The powder

The snow you hope to find.

Fresh snowfall can transform the mountain overnight, filling quieter slopes and natural gullies with powder. With a guide who knows where the snow settles best, the day becomes about following the conditions and making the most of them while they last.
