Office de la Montagne high mountain guides
High mountain guides for off-piste skiing, ski-touring, ice climbing, helisking and snowshoeing
This company specialise in all things high mountain for those that are looking for unique challenges, taking their skiing and snowboarding to the next level.
Their activities range from off-piste descents of approximately 2,000 metres down towards the Vanoise and Maurienne Valleys to ski touring and ice climbing.
All their high mountain guides have a wealth of experience and are fully qualified to lead groups off-piste. They all speak English as well as a number of other languages so you won't have to worry about any communication barriers.
For experienced skiers looking to do some freeriding within the Three Valleys, their guides can show you a variety of off-piste routes using the lift system. If you are looking to go a little further afield heliski off-piste trips are available on request.
Ski tourers can also hire a guide to discover remote technical and challenging routes that include the Gébroulaz glacier, Couloir Bonmartin and the west face of the Péclet. Avalanche safety kits are included but ski touring equipment is not.
The Office de la Montagne also offers group excursions, including a unique early morning tour on Tuesdays and a ski touring by night itinerary.
