Led by an experienced instructor, you learn to adapt your skiing to different types of snow and terrain. Whether you are new to it or already comfortable off-piste, you benefit from guidance tailored to your <strong>level and your goals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The practice of freeriding relies as much on mastering the skis as on the ability to <strong>observe the terrain and choose your trajectory<\/strong>. The ESI instructors teach you techniques adapted to powder snow, changes in slope and variations in snow conditions. The sessions thus allow you to gradually develop your skills while incorporating good practices to move in a responsible way in the mountains.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div> \n             \n    \n  <\/div> \n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"hwc-BlockSchoolTiles hwc-Block #classtoreplace#\"\n         \n        >\n  <div class=\"hwc-BlockSchoolTiles-container hwc-Container\">\n\n      \n      <div class=\"hwc-BlockSchoolTiles-heading\">\n        <h3 class=\"heading hwc-Heading-2\" data-hwc-anime=\"translateY\">Where can I find freeride outings?<\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    \n\n    <div class=\"hwc-Archive\">\n\n       \n        <div class=\"hwc-BlockSchoolTiles-filters\" data-archive-filters>\n          <div class=\"filters\">\n             \n              <div class=\"hwc-FilterMultiselect is-big is-mountain-range\" data-filter-type=\"taxonomy\" data-filter-multiselect='{\"title\":\"Massifs\",\"allSelectedText\":\"Tous les massifs\",\"selectAllText\":\"Tous\"}' data-multiselect-active='null'>\n\t<p class=\"hwc-FilterMultiselect-label\">Massifs<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"hwc-FilterMultiselect-select\">\n\t\t<select name=\"mountain-range\" data-filter-input>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<option id=\"alpes-valaisannes\" value=\"alpes-valaisannes\" name=\"mountain-range\">Valais Alps<\/option>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<option id=\"alpes-bernoises\" value=\"alpes-bernoises\" name=\"mountain-range\">Bernese Alps<\/option>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<option id=\"le-jura\" value=\"le-jura\" name=\"mountain-range\">The Jura<\/option>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/select> \n\t<\/div> \n<\/div>    \n                      <\/div>\n          <p class=\"count hwc-Tag is-blue-300\">\n            <span data-archive-count>2<\/span>&nbsp;school(s)\n          <\/p>\n        <\/div> \n       \n      \n\n            <div class=\"hwc-BlockSchoolTiles-items hwc-Archive-main\" data-hwc-archive>\n\n                  <div data-archive-loading> \n            <span class=\"hwc-Loader\"><\/span> \n          <\/div> \n  \n          <input name=\"more_config\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"&#x7B;&quot;main_activity_id&quot;&#x3A;2065,&quot;seed&quot;&#x3A;478868&#x7D;\">\n          <input name=\"listing_type\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"school-listing\"> \n          <input name=\"posts_per_page\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"16\">\n          <input name=\"post_type\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"school\"> \n          <input name=\"paged\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"1\">\n          <input name=\"last_page\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"1\"> \n          <input name=\"total_posts\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"2\">\n                \n        <div data-archive-listing>   \n\n\t<div class=\"hwc-Archive-listing\">  \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"hwc-SchoolItem\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"hwc-SchoolItem-picture\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"hwc-Picture has-overlay\">\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.esi-ski.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/esi-verbier-820x0-c-default.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"hwc-SchoolItem-content\">\n\n\t\t\t<p class=\"destination hwc-Tag is-blue-300 is-uppercase\">Verbier<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.esi-ski.ch\/en\/nos-ecoles\/verbier\/\" class=\"title hwc-Heading-5\" title=\"See the school -
