Freeride-Ski Tour

Freeride-Ski Tour: one week, one mayen, in the Verbier and Val-de-Bagnes Backcountry

A week (or a shorter stay) of ski touring and freeride in the Verbier and Val-de-Bagnes Backcountry, led by an IFMGA mountain guide. The programme is deliberately flexible: it can be geared toward more freeride, less ski touring, or more ski touring, even snowshoe outings, depending on your wishes and conditions. More ambitious goals or easier days — the guide adjusts the rating of each outing to the group's level and wishes. Skin up from the mayen's doorstep, climb at your own pace, descend through powder, and come home to the chalet at night. Wild Valais, in a small group.

The experience

The mayen as base camp: a genuine alpine chalet, quiet, from which you fan out onto the summits of the Verbier and Val-de-Bagnes Backcountry. Morning coffee facing the mountains; back to the mayen after the last descent. No impersonal hotel, no queues. A mountain rhythm, a small team, and a guide who builds the week around the group and current conditions.

The program is deliberately flexible: the guide plans each day based on avalanche bulletins and snow quality. You can choose a more freeride rhythm, more ski touring, or a balance of both. More challenging or more relaxed goals — the guide adjusts the rating of each outing. The itinerary below is a typical example.
