Description

In the mountain range where only the sky is the limit! A lodge south of Santiago in the Andes mountain range in the middle of cacti, a helicopter to reach the snowy slopes and skis to make the descent under the astonished eyes of condors: the Holy Grial of skiers! Caution, do not forget the swimsuit for hot water baths …

Chile is certainly a land of extraordinary games for snow lovers.

Mountain Leader

Guide UIAGM/IFMGA & ski instructor
The magic of the mountain is there to relax and be together with serenity. Today still excited about my job as a guide, I climb, ski... the mountains from all around the world and I share my passion with my so-called "clients" but … most of them became friends after so many years of adventures together.
During the winter or summer, the Vanoise National Park offers many options: mountaineering, climbing, glacier trekking, canyoning, climbing, off-piste skiing, ski touring, heli-skiing, free ride ! It is based in the heart of Les 3 Vallées ski area in the Tarentaise Valley, possibly the largest ski area in the world! … That’s where I’m from. The paradise for backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering, both for beginners and experts… Get in touch with me and let’s leave for great mountaineering experience together!

If you ever visit Les 3V Philippe is the guy to meet. He knows every corner, has the most updated information and chances are he can get you to a few dream rides even in bad weather conditions. Also makes you feel secure up there. And he is also a fun guy! Seriously, top professional. Cheers Philippe! See you next time i make it to Europe in winter. Ah and thanks for teaching Ashley here how to ski so sometimes he can even follow me!

Philippe was my first ski touring guide. He made me discover in the best manner a new side of skiing. Pure days of powder in little known slopes of the 3 Vallées in France.

I've been skiing with Philippe since many years now mainly in the 3 Vallées in France near Albertville. He helped me in achieving one of my goals which was to climb the Mount Blanc. Philippe yet again many thanks.

I got the chance to leave several time with Philippe for one-day ski touring expeditions in the area of "Les 3 Vallées" in France. It's each time such a pleasure to be guided by him: very friendly, great humour, always looking for the nice itinerary where nobody goes, available whenever needed to help, super professional... Thanks Philippe for such great moments in the mountains. See you next winter!
