Freeride Skiing

  • You don’t need to be an expert skier to enjoy the amazing terrain or have a unique experience in Europe. The Alps has terrain for everyone. Steep classics to mellow glacier touring with the whole family.

    The idea of “Freeride” is to get away from the ski areas. Away from the crowds and rediscover quality will always be better than quantity.

    On the Classics steep skiing off piste, I would suggest a group two Two Skiers to One Guide. 2:1. We are able to move through the terrain more efficiently. Maximizing your experience.

Bernese Oberland, Switzerland Haute Route

  • The Bernese Oberland Haute Route is custom planned according to number of days, group desire/ability. The huts are relatively close together with an array of options for ski descents. Typically I would suggest 3-5 days.

    4 Skiers Per Guide MaxDepending on group size, we can bring on another guide.

    Spring 2022

    SAMPLE ITINERARY

    We will meet in Grindelwald. Discuss plan, answer questions, check gear, have a great dinner and spend the night.

    DAY 1: After dropping our bags at the train station in the morning to be sent on to Visp, we ride the Jungfraubahn to Jungfraujoch, the first Alpine UNESCO World Heritage Site. A short tour up to the Mönchsjochhütte with time for skiing or a fantastic climb of the Mönch (4107M) and a rescue review.

    DAY 2 & 3: Mönchsjochhütte to Finsteraarhornhütte. Up and over the Fieschersattel and a 1000M descent down the Walliser Glacier. I like to spend two days here with the numerous descent options: Grosses Wannenhorn, Wyssnollen, Finsteraarhorn.

    DAY 4: Finsteraarhornhütte to Konkordiahütte. The distance is a short and the views amazing through the Grünhornlücke. Descent options Grosses Grünhorn or the Grünegg. Due to global weirding, we have 500 stairs to get to the hut that afternoon....

    DAY 5: Konkordiahütte to Visp. Ski Äbeni Flue. On our final day we cross the Grosser Aletschfirn through the Lötchenlücke and descend 2000M into Blatten, Lötschental. After lunch on the terrace at the Breithorn Hotel, we have a short bus ride and train down the valley to Visp.

  • All Haute Routes are private and custom planned. First we will discuss group ability and desired days. Please contact.

Vallee Blanche Private group

  • Skiing the Vallée Blanche in a private group is an incredible experience. Offering stunning off-piste skiing with a breathtaking view of the Mont Blanc massif.

    Have you ever wanted to ski to another country for the simple pleasure of an Italian lunch? With a guide, intermediate ski / touring skills, and a little fitness, this is a great way to spend a day.

    I tailor the experience based on your group's skill level and desire.

    You will enjoy a more personalized and potentially exclusive experience, taking in some of the most stunning alpine scenery Europe has to offer.

Alps Alpine Climbing

  • France and Switzerland are two of the most famous countries for alpine climbing. There are 82 official peaks over 4000m throughout the Western Alps. In the summer months, the valleys welcome novice and experienced climbers from all over the world.

    Quintessential mountain huts with comfortable beds and fantastic local cuisine allow us to spend days in the mountains carrying just our climbing gear and food for the day.

    I guide a vast majority of them. Some are only climbable certain times of the year while others only require a weather windows.
