You can book several days that do not necessarily follow each other, and then organize it with the guide.
In a concern of quality and safety, Snowlegend prefers to guide groups of no more than 4 to 5 riders for the couloirs and routes. They accept groups of 6 riders only for the classic itineraries which are the Vallons de La Meije and Chancel or downhill on Saint Christophe.
