Off-piste guide skiing in Val d'Isere

Legendary Freeriding in the Swiss Alps

Experience some of Europe's most iconic freeride terrain, combining lift-accessed off-piste skiing with ski touring and optional ski mountaineering. Based in Engelberg, with the options to explore neighbouring Andermatt, every day is planned around the conditions and your group's ambitions.

  • Engelberg has earned its reputation as one of Europe's classic freeride destinations. With an exceptional snow record, extensive lift access and countless touring possibilities, it offers incredible variety throughout the week. While the lifts are busy, comparatively few skiers venture off-piste, leaving an impressive amount of terrain to explore. From long alpine descents to technical ski mountaineering objectives, we'll choose the best terrain each day based on the weather, snowpack and avalanche conditions.

    Depending on the conditions, we'll also spend some time exploring neighbouring Andermatt, adding another world-class freeride destination to the trip. Away from the mountains, both resorts offer excellent restaurants, from traditional Swiss mountain cuisine to Michelin-starred dining, together with a relaxed après-ski scene.

  • Every day is built around finding the best skiing available. With options to combine lifts, short hikes and ski touring to access outstanding terrain while remaining flexible as conditions change throughout the week.

    Expect:

    * Legendary lift-accessed freeriding

    * Long alpine descents

    * Ski touring opportunities

    * Optional ski mountaineering objectives

    * Excellent snow reliability

    * A wide variety of terrain to suit the conditions

  • This trip is ideal for any level of off-piste skiers looking to experience some of Europe's best freeride terrain. Whether you enjoy lift-accessed skiing, ski touring or more technical objectives, each day can be adapted to suit the group's skiing ability, fitness and ambitions.

    Our low guide-to-client ratio allows us to split into smaller groups when appropriate, ensuring everyone enjoys the best possible experience. We'll also provide coaching, instruction and support throughout the week, helping you develop your off-piste and mountain skills while exploring increasingly varied terrain.

  • We'll stay in a comfortable hotel in Engelberg, providing a relaxed base for the week. Comfortable and quiet rooms, excellent food and a lively après-ski bar make it the perfect place to unwind after a day in the mountains.

  • "One standout was an expedition to North Macedonia, camping on the border with Kosovo. It was genuinely life-changing. Remote terrain, total self-sufficiency, and a level of judgement and calm from Rich that made a serious environment feel manageable and safe."

  • "On a separate trip closer to home, we traversed up the Val d’Isère valley during a full inversion. While others stayed low, Rich read the weather perfectly and led us into untouched wilderness with the most consistent, high-quality off-piste powder I’ve skied. It was one of those days you remember for years."
