Professional experienced guides offering off-Piste, ski touring, telemarking and more

ESF have over 200 instructors available to help make the most of your ski holiday. They are all qualified to the highest standard so you can rest assured you are in safe hands.
By hiring a guide you can get exactly what you want out of the mountain. The guide will tailor their tour to your specifications and ability. All guides speak English so you won't need to worry about any communication barriers.
With your guide you can take advantage of a wide range of activities including trying your hand at telemarking or ski touring to beautiful, less accessible spots, away from the crowds and into nature.
