Ski lessons

Ski courses : ski touring, off piste & ski lessons

Are you a competent skier but unsure of how to progress to off-piste skiing ?
Do you alpine ski and don’t dare experiment with ski touring ?
Are you a complete beginner wanting to learn how to ski and how to progress ?

We offer tailored programmes to suit your requirements and needs, from the very first beginner turns to perfecting your technique. Whatever ski course you are looking for, please get in touch and we will organise a course adapted to you.

Here are some examples of the ski courses that we run :

  • Technical-based courses for beginner – confirmed skiers wanting to progress on the slopes.
  • Experience-based courses for skiers wanting to get as much snow time as possible, focussing on going to places with a guide that you wouldn’t dare go to on your own.
  • Ski touring courses – beginner to experienced.
  • Other disciplines such as telemark skiing, snowboarding and monoskiing.
  • Avalanche search and rescue techniques.
  • Essential ski-touring techniques.


Chamonix Vertical know the ski area like the back of their hands and will be able to teach you in an exceptional setting, at the foot of Mont Blanc. For the more technical courses, our guides will adapt their sessions to focus on what you want to learn. Depending on your ability and experience, they will be able to take you to beautiful parts of the Alps to discover the mountains like you have never seen them before.

Ski equipment

For equipment, please see directly with the guide once you have booked. It is possible to rent a certain amount of gear from us, or we can advise you on where to rent your gear if you do not have your own. The kit list will depend on your level and what course you are on, so we will send you a comprehensive list of equipment when you book the course. Please do not hesitate to send us an email if you have any questions about courses or gear.
