Adaptive skiing
All ages
Skiing adapted to everyone.
Equipment chosen with you, an instructor trained for it, and the mountain like everybody else. Alone with your instructor, or with a companion.
BookThe equipment follows the person.
Tandemski, uniski, dualski: the equipment is chosen with you, from what you are after and what you need. Nothing is decided in advance, the school talks it through with you before the first session.
Our instructors trained in adaptive skiing welcome every disability, physical and sensory alike, at any age, from a first contact with the snow to a full day out.
Equipment chosen with you.
Tandemski, uniski or dualski, agreed with the school before the lesson.
A trained instructor.
Adaptive skiing takes a qualification of its own, which our instructors hold before they teach it.
Alone or with a companion.
You ski with the instructor, or with someone close to you who comes along on the descent.
By the hour, the half day or the full day: the length is chosen when you book, with the school in the resort.
Choosing your format.
Three ways to ski, depending on the equipment and the independence you are after. The school helps you choose before the first session.
The adaptive formats
As a private lesson
Alone with the instructor, or with a companion.
An instructor just for you.

Do I need someone with me?
No. You ski with the instructor. Someone close to you is welcome to come and learn to follow on the descent.
I have never skied, is that a problem?
That is true of many of our adaptive skiing pupils. The first session is there to find the right position and the right equipment.

Any age, children included. Tell the school the age and the situation, and it prepares the equipment.
How do I book?
