Off Piste Ski Camps | Samoens Grand Massif
Description
The camps involve 5 full days of intermediate or advanced level coaching from Monday to Friday.
Working in small groups, expert coaching at different levels allows participants to split up into different groups according to the type of skiing they’d like to do, with options such as off-piste, confidence building and technical training on the menu.
This year we’re offering two separate training weeks – you can sign up to one, the other, or both:
5 days Monday 16th to Friday 20th of January 2023
5 days Monday 23rd to Friday 27th of January 2023
Ideal for
Ideal for couples who love to holiday together but enjoy different types of skiing, those in need of off-piste adrenaline can be left to explore with a High Mountain Guide, allowing their partners to develop their technical skills and confidence at a more moderate pace with an Instructor.
The training and guidance will be adapted to suit the levels of ability of those who sign up, with different groups for different levels of ability.
We cannot accept skiers who are new to off-piste skiing (as 5 full days of off piste will be far too much at beginner level). All participants must be capable of skiing basic off piste. If you’re not sure whether your level is sufficient, get in touch with us for a chat.
Hours
Meeting at Samoëns 1600m each morning at 09h15, days run from 09h15 until around 16h30, with a lunch stop at mountain restaurant. You’ll ski an average of approximately 6 hours per day.
The training is designed to be intensive and some of our clients find they’re fatigued after day one or two, so don’t forget that you’re always welcome to finish your day early.
Groups can meet up daily for lunch and après-ski drinks, making it a sociable experience for everyone involved.
Off piste skiing is entirely dependent on weather conditions, so the precise schedule for your week will be decided by your coach on a daily basis. Our coaches are great at finding the best conditions that are available, but please keep in mind that despite ongoing efforts, we’re not yet able to make it snow! We can’t promise fresh snow, but we will go to great lengths to find fresh tracks for you to ski.
Communication is key and we encourage you to speak up in order that we know your expectations of the week. Each coach will decide with their group what they’ll focus on, so you make maximum progress in the areas you want to work on.

Guest comments
Thank you for an absolutely brilliant week. I cannot begin to explain properly how much fun Nikki and I had but we still have smiles on our faces.
Adrien, a very special thank you to you for looking after Nikki so well and increasing her confidence as without you I don’t think she would have had the courage to take on some of the challenges we all faced.
Our guides Christophe and Phillippe were exceptional in their understanding of the snow conditions, the abilities of those in their care and above all the regard for the absolute safety of their groups. They never stopped giving us information about what dangers to look for, how to be safe and helpful tips about how to handle ourselves in some of that wonderfully deep untracked powder they found.
You were all great company and we had a lot of laughs so please pass on our thanks to “Tof” and “Flac”.
You have a superb business model with an outstanding team of people and I will recommend you to as many people as I can as your ski school is light years ahead of anything else we have experienced.
Good luck for the rest of the season and we will definitely be coming with you again as soon as we have an opportunity.
-Nikki & Rhys (ZigZag January Ski Camp 2014)
