Freeride
& Off-Piste

Where the mountain opens up, with guides who read it properly.

ENQUIRE

BEYOND THE
MARKED RUNS

Crans-Montana holds serious off-piste terrain, from the Plaine Morte glacier to the north-facing slopes that keep their snow long after the pistes have been tracked out. Riding it well means knowing where the snow is good — and, more importantly, where it isn't. APEX freeride sessions are private, limited to four people, and led by instructors qualified for off-piste terrain. Safety equipment is mandatory and available for hire separately.

Who it's for

Confident all-mountain skiers and riders

You descend red and black runs comfortably in any snow. Off-piste is the next step, not the first one.

Small groups only

Four people maximum, for safety and for the quality of the session.

Safety first

Transceiver, shovel and probe are compulsory, and their use is covered before setting off.

Terrain matched to conditions

Route decisions are made on the day, based on snowpack, weather and avalanche risk.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

  • Avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe are compulsory for every participant. They are not included in the session and are available for hire separately.

    Your guide covers their use before departure. Off-piste routes are chosen on the day according to conditions, and sessions may be modified or cancelled where the avalanche risk requires it. That decision rests with the guide and is final.

FORMATS & PRICING

Base price covers one rider. Each additional rider is added at the rate shown. Group of 4 riders maximum.
