The courses offer various levels of training and thus deepen the participant's knowledge; they are mainly focused on avalanche risk prevention.

Free-riding
Free-riding has developed a lot over the last few years, an increasing number people are looking for the thrill of free-riding rather than classic skiing. The 4 Valleys have adapted their slopes to be able to offer safe and marked freeride circuits.
You will find these slopes listed in yellow, and other itineraries adapted to your level. As some routes require special equipment, it is important to be well informed before attempting any descent of the risks involved.
Vast wild areas such as the Vallon d’Arbi, are signposted and secured for freeride itineraries. The entrance for this circuit can be found to the left near the bottom of the Lac des Vaux ski run, where you can check if this area is officially open or closed. The circuit finishes in La Tzoumaz, providing the ultimate experience of the 4 Valleys complete with exceptional panoramic views. There are about ten other itineraries that can be walked all over the resort (Chassoure-Tortin-Les Gentianes-Plan du Fou etc).
