These short off piste ski trips are made for good skiers with a good basic technique in parallel skiing and some off piste experience. In four days we discover the three countries area around the Mont Blanc massif. The big names like Chamonix, and Verbier are nearby but Secret Ski Spots is what we are looking for, places like les Marecottes (where famous freerider Jeremie Heitz is at home), Bruson, Vallorcine, Vichères, Mont Noble just to mention a few. These places are especially appealing during weekdays and thanks to the central location of our Bekker Mountain Chalet we have the luxury to explore a different area each day. It is not uncommon to have such a place to ourselves, even after a big dump.
You will stay at the Bekker Chalet, our ski lodge with spa facilities which is located in Finhaut-Emosson in the Swiss Valais, not far from the Chamonix Valley. After a hearty skiers breakfast with freshly baked bread and fresh fruit served by Ilse, our 4x4 minivan is ready to roll and take you to one of the beautiful places in this world reknowned area. After skiing you can relax in front of the woodfire and enjoy a good glass of wine or take advantage of the sauna and the outside wood-fired hot tub on the terrace with amazing views of the surrounding mountains. Dinner is usually served by Ilse in the chalet in private ambiance or occasionally taken in one of the restaurants of the typical Valais village at walking distance. The chalet features free, fast WiFi. Coffee and tea are free during your stay. You'll stay in comfortable 2-4 person rooms with adjacent showers and toilets (3 rooms for up to 7 participants, one of which is a double room with private bathroom-first come first served basis).
The program starts at 6 PM with IFMGA certified mountain guide / skiguide. End of the program last day in the early afternoon, whereafter you still have time to travel home. The possibility exists, upon availability at the Bekker Chalet, to book extra nights for € 65 per person including half board.
We recommend to you use freeride ski boots during this program. If you do not have any, bring your own skiboots. In terms skis we recommend to choose for wider freerideski's (can be rented from our own depot). All avalanche materials (avalanche beacon, shovel and probe) including ABS avalanche airbag are included.
