SIT-SKI OR STAND-UP ADAPTIVE SKI LESSONS

We have the right equipment and the best teaching techniques to help you gain your independence on snow.

20 YEARS EXPERIENCE

We are confident we can offer you the best approach thanks to our knowledge of the equipment and local terrain, as well as our thousands of hours of teaching experience.

WHERE CAN I SIT-SKI?

We offer sit-skiing lessons in some of the best resorts in France: La Plagne, Belle Plagne, Courchevel, La Tania, Meribel, Grand Bornand and Val d’Isere.

Sit-skiing is for wheelchair users or people who have difficulty coordinating their lower limbs. We will accompany you on your journey to skiing independently using Tessier sit-ski equipment.

PILOTED SIT-SKIING

Piloted sit-skiing is for people who are partially or totally dependent. The sit-ski is fitted with a bar for the instructor to ‘drive’ the sit-ski around the slopes. It offers all the sensations of skiing, and the skier can participate as much as they want or are able to. We can also train people to become sit-ski pilots.

STAND UP ADAPTIVE SKIING

Stand up adaptive skiing is for anyone who has good coordination whilst holding themselves upright on one or two legs. Whether you are visually impaired, have hearing difficulties, are an amputee or partially paralysed, we can help you discover (or rediscover) the pleasure of skiing. We also have experience teaching children on the autism spectrum who may find group ski lessons overwhelming.
