For off-piste guides in Chamonix, look no further. Up there with the Espace Killy as one of the best off-piste destinations, the steepness of Chamonix’s terrain makes it a real challenge. No one knows the area quite as well as the Compagnie des Guides, who have been guiding visitors round the mountains since 1821.

More than 200 guides are employed throughout the winter to take you off-piste, free skiing or down the famous Vallée Blanche. Varied itineraries have something for all abilities.
