Thibaut Descoeudres is the heart and founder of AlpAdventure. Having called Verbier home for over 30 years, he knows every trail, peak, and hidden corner of the Region, and loves nothing more than sharing that passion with others.
A lifelong adventurer, Thibaut is an avid skier, mountain and road biker and paraglider, always seeking the next challenge. Whether he’s with guests through the mountains, taking to the skies on a tandem paragliding flight, or exploring new terrain, his enthusiasm for the outdoors is infectious.
As a key member of the AlpAdventure coaching team, Thibaut works with both children and adults, creating experiences that are fun, inspiring, and appropriately challenging. His coaching philosophy is built on three pillars: confidence, joy, and safety. He believes everyone can achieve more than they think, and he takes pride in helping each participant grow while making unforgettable memories in the mountains.
When he’s not coaching or flying, you’ll often find Thibaut organising mountain races and community events, bringing people together through a shared love of adventure. And if the conditions are right, he’s always ready for a tandem flight—just ask!
Over the years we have built an extensive network of exceptional instructors, race coaches and mountain professionals. Because we know them personally, we can carefully select the right coach for every programme, ensuring children and adults benefit from consistent, experienced and motivating instruction.
Safety always comes first.
Every participant deserves individual attention.
Progress should be enjoyable.
Confidence grows through encouragement and challenge.
Our small coaching groups allow instructors to understand every athlete, adapt their coaching and create lasting relationships throughout the season.
Based in Verbier, we are fortunate to train in one of the world’s finest mountain playgrounds, with access to exceptional pistes, race venues and legendary freeride terrain.
Whether joining us for one season or many years, every member becomes part of the AlpAdventure family.
