Tailor made courses and private guiding are our big specialism - accounting for over half of our work each year. These vary from long weekends in resorts such as Chamonix or La Grave, to a week or more completing your own personal ski tour.
When you hire a private guide you can go anywhere and do anything you want to do (subject to weather, conditions and experience!) This is the major advantage of booking your trip in this way and one we feel should be fully exploited.
If you want recommendations for suitable tours then we can easily suggest a program for you - or we can plan the trip together around your chosen objectives. Often we are asked to organise personalised versions of courses and tours on our current ski program - but numerous other options are available. Below we show a selection of other popular ski itineraries that we can recommend.
Guiding Fees
Standard guiding rates apply for most alpine ski itineraries and include guiding fees and use of the guides car (unless negotiated otherwise). For current private guiding rates please take a look at our ski program page.
During the week you are responsible for meeting the guides expenses. This includes: uplift (cable cars etc), mountain huts at half board, fuel at cost, general expenses (road/tunnel tolls etc) and valley hotel expenses half board if you stay outside of the guides seasonal valley base (this base is Chamonix in most cases) - most huts and cable cars charge a substantially discounted rate for the guide. For further information on typical costs and expenses, please refer to our ski costs page.
