Freeride
Off-piste in the Vialattea with an instructor, on slopes chosen for the day.
We use the lifts to reach the off-piste, and your instructor picks where to ride from the conditions of the day. These outings aren’t planned in advance: we announce them during the season, right after a snowfall.

Before you sign up
The early-bird rate. It isn’t refundable, because the discount is tied to booking early. If you can’t come, you can move your booking to another date on the calendar and keep the rate. If we’re the ones who don’t confirm the outing, you get a full refund. The refund minus the 10% charge applies instead to lessons booked at the full rate and cancelled within the terms.
Off-piste. Off-piste outings take place outside the ski area, on ungroomed terrain that rescue vehicles struggle to reach. Carrying avalanche safety equipment (shovel, transceiver and probe) is compulsory by law.
Your level. If you’re not sure whether you’re intermediate or advanced, have a look at the Ski and snowboard levels page.
The other experiences. Discover the area, freeride, ski touring and splitboard are all on the Experiences page.
All the prices for the season are in Prices; cancellations, minimum numbers and the other conditions are in the Terms and conditions.
Where the dates are. You’ll find the active dates, and book them, on Bee Bee Board: this site has no calendar. That’s where the FAQs below point too.

Frequently asked questions
What are Experiences and Clinics?
Experiences and Clinics are fixed-date group lessons, open to anyone who signs up: you don’t need to arrive with a group of your own. Clinics focus on one specific technical theme and last 3 hours; Experiences are more about the experience itself and discovering the area, and last 4.5 hours or a full day. Check the calendar on the site for the dates that are open.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Lessons go ahead in bad weather too: snowfall, wind and fog are conditions to expect when you spend time in the mountains. A lesson is only cancelled and refunded if the lifts close.
