Description

Join certified guide Filippo for a ski touring and off piste skiing trip in the ski domain of Les 3 Vallées in the French Alps!

This is a great opportunity to enjoy freeride and off piste skiing, far from the crowds. In fact, we’ll go a little bit up with the skins to reach places where the powder snow is the best and where nobody goes.

Starting off from Val Thorens with a safety briefing, equipment check, and itinerary overview , a lift will whisk you to a high starting point, saving energy for the 500-meter ascent to the imposing Gebroulaz Glacier. Along the way, Filippo shares expert ski touring tips to ensure a smooth journey.

At the top, dive into a thrilling freeride descent through wide powder fields and gentle slopes toward Méribel. The loop ends with a lift back to Val Thorens, wrapping up this sublime day in the mountains.

We can leave for one or several days together. We will adapt the program and the itinerary according to your ski level and your wishes.

If you are in one of the Les 3 Vallées ski resorts, please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to show you secret spots, full of silence, where you can enjoy nature and the wilderness of the mountain.

What people are saying about this trip

Chloe

Nous avons passé un bon moment avec Jessy dans les Trois Vallées. Nous avons fait du ski hors-piste et malgré la météo difficile, il nous a trouvé de belles décentes. Il est sympa, dynamique, prudent et il aime bien les nouvelles technologies dans le domaine du ski.

Evan

Malgré la malchance d'une semaine avec très peu de neige, Jessy a pu nous dégoter de chouettes randos à peau de phoques! Outre sa connaissance indéniable de la montagne et son grand professionnalisme, Jessy s'est révélé être un guide extrêmement sympathique! Je vous le recommande chaudement et je garde son contact précieusement pour de futures randonnées! (Petit plus: il s'éloigne régulièrement du groupe pour prendre de magnifiques photos qu'il nous envoie en fin de journée par whatsapp ou mail!).

Owen

An amazing few days of skiing, ski touring and glacier exploring with Jessy. Jessy is a true professional, always alert, safety conscious and tailoring his trips to the ability of his clients - making for a great, memorable experience. (Photos included!). I have been ski-touring with guides for 16 years and would definitely choose Jessy again and recommend him to others.

Eric

Jessy took good care of us. He contacted us in good time before our actual day. Super nice and skilled. We like to ski long days and so did Jessy. If we come back we will definetly contact Jessy again.

Ashley

Deux journées top au milieu des 3 Vallées. Très attentif, Jessy s'adapte au niveau du groupe et choisit les bonnes pentes. Il nous a fait découvrir de nouveaux coins loin des pistes et cela en toute sécurité. Merci Jessy, on s'est éclaté et on a bien rigolé. Au fait, tes photos sont magnifiques.
