Description
Join me in this 6-day off piste ski course and learn all the secrets you need to enjoy your time on the snow! We will spend a great time in Obertilliach, a gem in East Tyrol in Austria.
With my Piste to Powder program, you will learn how to deal with various snow conditions. Most important, I will teach you in a practical way, with different exercises and movement descriptions. Also, you will learn the right ski technique on the slopes. Then, you will put it into use directly in the terrain.
My goal is that at the end of the course you are able to have fun knowing the right skiing techniques. We will have up to 3 to 4 hour ski training in Obertilliach ski resort, as a preparation for the terrain. Then, the following days, we will go ski touring.
Obertilliach is an idylyc village, surrounded by the peaks of the Lienz Dolomites and the Carnic Alps. It has even served as a filming location for a James Bond movie! We will stay in the comfortable Hepi Lodge. In 20 minutes we will be in the ski area.
The Obertilliach ski resort it's a great spot for your family also. They can take ski, telemark, snowboard and Nordic ski lessons at the Obertilliach Ski School.
So contact me if you want to improve your off piste skiing skills! I will answer any questions you may have about the program. We will spend a great time in Obertilliach. I also offer a guided ski touring weekend in Lesachtal. You can check it out!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
