Dependable and driven by a shared passion, every winter they don their red jumpers and willingly share their expertise, techniques, and tips with pupils of all ages. They’re by our side when we clip on our skis for the first time, attempt our first snowplough turns, move up through the star badges, develop our skills and have fun in the powder snow…
We embark on our first black runs and forge our very best off-piste memories with them. They teach us all about the mountains they love, which they want to share and to protect.
All that’s left is to choose the package best adapted to everyone to get the most from their instruction: Piou-Piou lessons and nursery for little ones, individual or group lessons, in the mornings, afternoons or the whole day, skiing or snowboarding, off-piste, Team Rider and Freestyle courses for teens, not to mention the many package options (lessons plus skipasses) for adult and child beginners!
