Off-piste ski lessons
Improve your off-piste skills with expert coaching in Morzine’s stunning backcountry
Experience the excitement of off-piste skiing in Morzine with expert coaching that blends technique, confidence building, and essential mountain safety. These sessions help you explore fresh terrain, understand avalanche awareness, and enjoy the backcountry with guidance from skilled local instructors.
Your off-piste lesson begins with a friendly meet-up at a convenient location in Morzine or the surrounding area, where you’ll chat through your goals for the day and review all the essential safety equipment needed for skiing beyond the marked pistes.
Before heading into the backcountry, your instructor will guide you through a thorough safety briefing. You’ll learn key avalanche protocols, practise transceiver checks, and understand how to plan a safe route based on current conditions. This solid foundation ensures you can enjoy the adventure with peace of mind.
Once on the mountain, you’ll explore off-piste terrain across Morzine and the wider Portes du Soleil that suits your ability. Your instructor will provide tailored coaching focused on freeride technique, helping you handle powder, steeper gradients, and variable snow with greater control and ease. Real-time tips and focused drills will help you progress quickly and confidently.
At the end of your session, you’ll review what you’ve achieved and receive personalised advice for developing your off-piste skills further, all while enjoying the stunning alpine landscapes that make Morzine such a fantastic place to ski.
