Ultimate Ski Week-end

THE STARTING POINT
To be in the right spot at the right moment is the key to good off-piste skiing. We start the Ultimate Ski Tour at the Cointrin airport in Geneva, right at the heart of the Alpes. Depending on weather conditions and snow forecast we hit the road to find the best conditions. Likely spots include the Aosta valley in Italy within the order of ten ski resorts. La Grave in France offers anything and everything between steep couloirs to fantastic skiing in the forest. In Switzerland we choose between ski resorts like Zermatt, Grimentz, Ovronnaz, Les Diablerets in the western part of the country and Engelberg, Lenzerhide, Davos, St Moritz in the eastern part of the country. From Geneva we can easily reach literally hundreds of resorts.

Our guides have over 10 years' experience in seeking out the best powder spots. We tend to prefer the smaller resorts, since the fresh powder snow lasts longer, queues are shorter and the atmosphere is friendlier in smaller resorts.

MEMORIES FOR LIFE
To help you remember your trip there are a number of GoPro head-cams you can borrow, We will also takes lots of pictures to enjoy back at home.

SAFETY
We cooperate with the certified mountain guide Mark Wright and his team. If you don't have your own safety equipment we will lend you what you need.

No matter your level as a skier we help you to develop your freeriding/off-piste skills.
