Improve Your Technique - Ski with PRESTIGE
 |
"Adrian was a good call, instructor wise, the kids loved him and he worked absolute wonders on them..." February 2007 |
 |
No-one likes to admit they might need a ski or snowboard lesson during their holiday but the results with your skiing can be so dramatic that we find our guests booking lessons for the rest of the week! We work with a small private ski school run by
Oli Rosenburg and renowned instructor Theirry Chibou, Ski Prestige.
Ski Prestige are more than a ski school, they are outdoor specialists and
utilise the skills of their top level instructors to the max. 'Lessons' do not have to be lessons at all. Skiing with an instructor can be a fast, furious morning or afternoon carving up the powder off-piste, or hitting those bumps you've always avoided, with maybe just minor adjustments being made to your technique. However all the time you will be skiing with more confidence, speed and importantly control! Thierry, Etienne, Ferdi,
Jean-Luc, Walter and others look forward to welcoming you to their 'office'.
Minibus transport included for whole day lessons.
Specialist days can include:
Heli Cremerie; add a little adredalin to your day with a helicopter transfer
from the base slopes of Argentiere to the mid station, taking in magnificent
scenery on the way. Then continue skiing with your mountain guide and take in
the fabulous off- piste terrain of the Grands Montets.... Heli transfer from
215 per person.
James Bond evening: Explore neighbouring Courmayeur for the day then stay over
and take a skidoo to your restaurant of the evening. A typical farmhouse where
the hosts serve typical dishes and the wine flows! Then sledge down by the light
from your head torch! Ideal for groups! ....evenings activity from 155 per
person
During high season dates half-day availability will be limited.

The kind of course we can create for you depends on several factors; the ski level of your party, the areas in which you wish to improve and the 'tingle' factor! Do you want to ski amongst stunning glaciers taking the odd photo? or just have a trained professional take you to the best snow, no teaching thanks! We can organise any kind of course: beginner off-piste, avalanche and crevasse awareness or advanced ski touring for example.
