Les Houches Ski Lessons & Guiding

Anyone skiing & snowboarding Chamonix for the first time may struggle to comprehend the full diversity of the off-piste ski terrain potential. Whilst a guide will not be necessary for most visitors to the Les Houches ski resort, anyone wanting to quickly get to know the resort or seeking to improve their off-piste & backcountry skills will benefit from some time with a ski instructor or mountain guide.

Getting to know how to access the best freeride terrain in the remaining Chamonix ski areas can be quite time-consuming for new visitors. Backcountry descents off the Aiguille du Midi & into the Argentiere glaciers from Grands Montets are quite daunting to the uninitiated. Spending at least a day or two with a quality local instructor or guide will not only expand your ski experience exponentially but will provide safety & perhaps improve your skills as well.

Ski lessons for on and/or off-piste can be arranged upon arrival. Mountain Guides are best arranged prior to your trip, but the best utilisation of their services is totally dependent on snow & weather conditions - tough choice. Regardless of the weather, there is enough terrain at Chamonix to ski something interesting if you have already hired a guide. Joining a mixed guided group is a whole lot cheaper than hiring a private guide, with the major caveat being one never knows the ski ability & skill level of the other group member until it may be too late.

An incredible array of ski instructors, ski schools & guides ply their craft in the Chamonix valley ski resorts. To narrow down the field, use our partners from a listing below.
