 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, I'm looking for off-piste guide recommendations for the Maurienne Valley preferably within the HMV we will be on snowboards (maybe splitboards). The ESF seem to offer sessions so do the ESI at Valfrejus and a company called Valfreeride.
I'm interested in hearing other people's experiences using guides as well.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

UP Guides are based there. We had a good time with them.

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

If I was looking for a guide my first stop would be to try the local Bureau des Guides office , there seems to be at least three in in the Maurianne Valley . It’s the way I found my first guide in the Tarentaise in 2000 , used him every year since , he’s now a friend and I’m his second oldest client this winter will be our 25 yr

Yves/Valfreeride is a great guy and knows Valfrejus and the wider Haute Maurienne like the back of his hand... highly recommended.
Fred/Victor and their colleagues at UP Guides also highly recommended and are split-boarders as well as skiers.
You won't go wring (/edit/ - or wrong…) with either of those options.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It might also be worth dropping @Ed_sec a line to see if he has any suggestions.

Agreed. I can also endorse Fred and Victor, great knowledgeable guys to go out with and Fred is very much into split-boarding.

Possibly the best - and most famous - local guide in the Haute Maurienne is Zeb Roche (Google him)his company is Antipodes, but he normally gets fully booked up by about July. (I've skied with him all over the Alps with a group of friends for over 20 years.)
