Off-piste, matched to your level — not the other way around.
The Espace Killy holds some of the Alps' most celebrated off-piste terrain. Whether that means your first turns off a marked run, a full day touring away from the crowds, or a helicopter-accessed descent, it's one network and one point of contact.
Terrain knowledge, not just a qualification
Off-piste instruction spans a guest making their first turns outside a marked run, to an experienced skier seeking a specific line they’ve heard about for years. Every instructor in our off-piste network is matched against where you currently are, not where a generic « off-piste lesson » assumes you to be. Off-piste sessions are limited to five participants per instructor. It keeps everyone safer, and it means more skiing for the whole group — less time waiting your turn, more time on the snow.
Who this is for
First off-piste turns
Confident on-piste skiers ready for their first supervised powder, in controlled, appropriate terrain.
Regular off-piste skiers
Guests who want a local's read of current conditions and access to terrain they wouldn't find alone.
Specific objectives
A particular couloir, face or itinerary discussed in advance with an instructor who knows it well.
Safety, without the sales pitch
Every instructor in our off-piste network holds current qualifications and insurance in accordance with French regulation, and carries the appropriate safety equipment for the terrain chosen. Conditions — not ambition — set the plan for the day.
Avalanche safety equipment (transceiver, probe, shovel, avalanche airbag) can be provided on request, subject to availability — let us know when you enquire so we can confirm ahead of your arrival.
“Spent six days with Julien around Val d'Isère and Tignes. It hadn't snowed in two weeks and he still managed to find us heaps of deep snow — zero chance of regret. Two years later, I wrote to him again: 'I have purpose and a mission in life, and I owe that to you. Your generosity to share spots with us, your patience with the group, and your wisdom to take me to places I never dreamed of going. You changed my life.'”
FELIX — FEBRUARY 2026
