About All Off Piste
All Off Piste is a boutique freeride guiding and coaching company founded by Franz Trimmel, a UIAGM/IFMGA-certified mountain guide, Austrian state ski instructor, and Tyrolean sport climbing instructor. Based in the Arlberg region, the company operates primarily across the St. Anton, Lech, and Zürs ski areas, offering a personalised approach to off-piste skiing that emphasises progressive skill development alongside the thrill of untracked powder.
The guiding programme spans half-day and full-day off-piste sessions, multi-day freeride camps, ski touring excursions, and even heli-skiing day trips in partnership with helicopter operators in the neighbouring Montafon and Paznaun valleys. What distinguishes All Off Piste from standard guiding services is the coaching component — Franz and his team don't just lead clients to powder; they actively teach terrain reading, turn technique in variable snow, steep skiing tactics, and avalanche risk management. Sessions are tailored to the group's ability, from confident intermediates taking their first steps off-piste to expert skiers seeking St. Anton's most challenging couloirs and north-facing bowls.
All Off Piste has earned a stellar reputation on TripAdvisor and word-of-mouth referrals, with clients praising the relaxed yet professional atmosphere and Franz's ability to push skiers beyond their comfort zone safely. The small group sizes — typically capped at six — ensure personal attention and flexibility to adapt the day's plan to changing conditions. For visitors who want to unlock the Arlberg's vast off-piste potential with a guide who is as much a teacher as an explorer, All Off Piste delivers an experience that goes well beyond a standard guided run.
