Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

La clusaz guides

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi all,

I got a group of 6 all going to la clusaz in the middle of January. This will be the first time going there after many trips to flaine and other resorts.
All members of the group are happy cruising blues and reds but want to make the most of the 3 days skiing by hiring a guide to show us the best loops and runs and how to get about the best ways.

Does anyone know any instructors/ guides in the area as all I have found is back country and off piste guides

Generally you can take an instructor from a local ski school - just tell them what you want. Try ESF La Clusaz. You don't need a mountain guide.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Ghostlybadge, it's not a particularly big area, I can't really think you'd have much need for a guide to show you round.

If the budget's not tight, half a day with a friendly local is likely to be very pleasant. Even as a non-instructor, when I had visitors with specific requirements, likes and dislikes, visiting the area I knw well I could usually show them a good time - and a good value lunch - and sensible suggestions for further exploration. It's a big enough area to not know where to go on your first morning. We always found the "ski guiding" a useful part of a catered chalet holiday, back in the day.

On a week's holiday I would just make my way around but this is a arrive Friday evening leave Tuesday morning so only 3 days on the snow so want to make the most of the days I don't want to head to an area to find all the blues are flat blues and could have been greens or skip a full section of the mountain that does not good good on the liste map but is there best place in the world.

And where sells the best food. Even for a morning in the first day to give us a head start

@Ghostlybadge, I did 3 winters as a "guide" it's not a terrible idea. But as @pam w, suggests, these days you need to cough up for a licensed pro.

I'm not sure whether you're asking about eating places on the mountain or in town? In town we found a restaurant called Pizza Minute (which does much more than just Pizza) which did very nice food at inexpensive prices, we ate there several times in the evening. It only has a relatively small number of dining in tables as a lot of their trade is for takeaways. It's located just behind the Church in the centre of town at 89 Place de l'Eglise.

Thanks. Had no issue with a pro just looking at the websites they advertise off piste and back country guides or group/private ski lessons.
If I end up with a private lesson instructor and get a tip on my skiing to go with the guide around the mountains I will be happy enough.

Thabks for the advise
