During your stay
Monday to Friday (except Wednesday) - 1 session in the morning or in the afternoon depending on the composition of the groups, formed on the basis of the affinities, the expectations of each and the different technical levels.
During your sessions, you alternate with technical advice, individual advice, discovering the most beautiful slopes of the resort, etc.
For the unsupervised half-day, you are free to ride with your friends or alone, enjoy the station or rest between two skiing sessions.
You can participate in the stay if you are:
- insider: Your instructor gives you all the advice to be comfortable on all the blue slopes and some red slopes. You work on your commitment to the track in order to be comfortable on smooth snow as well as test more bumpy snow and trails in order to integrate the “mastery” level group over a future week.
- control: Your instructor develops your ability to evolve with ease on all red slopes (smooth, icy, bumpy) but also some well-prepared black runs in the ski area. This ease on this type of slope allows you to join the “confirmed” group for future weeks of skiing.
- confirmed: The objective of this week is to be comfortable on all snow and all slopes, including to touch the “powder” to switch to an “expert” level on the next vacation week and why not to an off-road trip.
- expert: Have fun with your instructor who refines your technique. Depending on the wishes of the group, the climatic and terrain conditions, you will discover a nice off-trail and the most beautiful runs and spots in the entire ski area.
