You would typically choose a private or custom program when your objectives, schedule and expectations are not matched by those offered on our scheduled programs.
You can hire a guide/instructor to do any of the activities in which we specialize. Our guides and instructors are certified by the Association of Austrian Mountain Guides. In addition to certification, which only relates to a guide's technical competence, all of our guides have access to Freeride Center's staff training and guide mentoring programs which help to develop many other key qualities required of a professional guide. They need to be endowed with patience, empathy, and a sense of humor as well as being effective communicators and great coaches.
How does it work?
If you would like to consider a private or custom program you would contact us directly, by email or by phone, to discuss what it is you are interested in doing. We would discuss your objectives, experience and expectations and in turn outline a program or itinerary that would meet your needs. You may already know what you want to do or we may suggest suitable options to you.
We would confirm a price and itinerary to you at which point you would confirm your booking by making a deposit.
Read on for an explanation of costs, booking procedures and for some ideas as to the types of programs we can offer.
Costs include freeride skis for demoing for 1 day, safety equipmnt (backback, shovel, probe, avalanche beacon)
Costs
Freeride Center guides and instructors are some of the best in the industry. Our standards are very high and we are totally committed to providing you with the best possible experience. Our guiding team benefits from staff training, peer and client review, daily conditions reports, and support from senior guides. We back up all of our programs with a full time, on-call Duty Manager and support network ready to help in any situation. We also have cutting edge, modern equipment ready to rent or borrow on all of our programs.
When you arrange a private or custom program you will be paying a guide fee plus the expenses incurred in running the program. It is important to understand that should you wish to shorten your trip due to weather or personal reasons you will still be paying for the entire duration that you registered for.
