Tignes

Tignes, part of the Espace Killy ski area, is renowned for its varied and extensive off-piste terrain. The resort’s unique blend of diverse terrain, reliable snow conditions, and breathtaking scenery makes it an incredible base for off-piste courses.

The resort has everything from vast open faces to challenging couloirs and hidden powder stashes, making it the perfect playground for experienced skiers and snowboarders. If you know where to look, there is also some incredible tree skiing.

Our Expert courses here go far beyond skiing the classics. You’ll get to see the resort from a different perspective. Skiing less common variations of runs and exploring little known areas.

The altitude ensures reliable snow conditions, and a large amount of the off-piste is quickly and easily accessible from the lifts, with limited hiking.

The course doesn’t include accommodation, but Tignes offers a wide range of options, from budget-friendly apartments to luxury chalets. So, you can choose the type of accommodation that suits your needs and budget. However, unless you’ve a car, we don’t suggest staying in Tignes les Brevieres.

Verbier

Verbier is renowned for its extensive off-piste terrain, offering an exhilarating playground for advanced skiers eager to test their skills. The terrain is varied and challenging, featuring steep couloirs and open faces. With some treeskiing across in Bruson.

However, it’s not for the faint-hearted. There’s a reason Verbier is home to the final of the Freeride World Tour. The steep faces and exposure make this course one of our most challenging.

Off-snow Verbier offers a unique blend of culture and luxury that enhances the overall experience. After a day of skiing, you can unwind in the cosy chalets or indulge in the vibrant après-ski scene that the resort is famous for.

Contrary to popular belief, a trip to Verbier doesn’t have to break the bank. There are some incredible, more affordable accommodation options in Le Chable, which is connected to Verbier by a Gondola that runs almost all day and night. There are also some great public transport options, with trains running every hour from Geneva.

“We did an off piste course with Pascal. It was excellent, we found some great nuggets of fresh powder and Pascal knew exactly what he was doing and where to go. Great guy all round and was a pleasure to ski with! Thank you New Gen and Pascal will definitely be back and would highly reccommend.”
