What people are saying about Backcountry Skiing | Rosablanche
Plus de temps doit être consacré à la familiarisation de l'équipement qu'on portait dans nos sacs, pelle, sonde. Quoi faire si le guide est emporté par une avalanche, une deuxième radio devrait être porté par un des clients, comment utiliser les émetteurs de détresse lors d'une recherche.

J'ai la chance de skier chaque année avec Steph depuis qu'il est guide. Il trouve toujours d'excellents plans ski et rando en valais ou ailleurs. Steph est ultra professionnel et le fait qu'il soit sauveteur est certainement un plus!

Bonjour Anne-Françoise, La sortie de samedi dernier m’a entièrement ravi : excellente ambiance, baptême de l’air paisible, parcours de toute beauté sous l’œil attentif et encourageant de Peter, bref un grand moment de ski, en prime sous un ciel parfaitement dégagé ! Bravo pour l’organisation, en ce compris la navette de retour et la livraison sur place des packs de sécurité. Merci pour tout et….à la prochaine !!!

Guy is a great guide. He is friendly and flexible, and I felt very safe with him. He knows Verbier extremely well and I would highly recommend him.
