During your stay
Wednesday - Skiing on your own.
Technical Level - Beginner
You have already skated for 1 to 3 weeks. You go down green and some blue trails with confidence. You control your speed and your trajectories. You start making parallel ski turns.
This week, your instructor will give you all the advice you need to be comfortable on all the blue runs and some red runs. You will therefore work on your commitment to the track, you will become comfortable on smooth snow and you will test yourself on bumpier snow and slopes in order to integrate the “Mastery” groups of skiers over a future week.
Technical level - Mastery
You have acquired a “Mastery” level because you know how to control your speed and your trajectories on blue tracks and on red tracks when they are well prepared. When the track is bumpy, in hard snow or in powder snow, you are less comfortable... and that's what techniques you will be developing this week with your instructor.
This week, your instructor will develop your ability to evolve with ease on all red slopes (smooth, icy, bumpy) but also some well-prepared black slopes in the ski area. This ease on this type of slope will allow you to be in “Confirmed” groups for your future weeks of skiing.
Technical level - Confirmed
You have acquired a “confirmed” level because you evolve with ease on all the slopes of the ski area by controlling your skis, even if you are less comfortable when the terrain is more rugged (bumps, ice, powder...).
The objective of your week will be to now be comfortable on all snow and all slopes (even if you will have to continue sliding to make this ease more fluid), including to touch the “powder” to switch to the next week of vacation to an “Expert” level and why not to an Off-Piste stay.
Technical Level - Expert
You are an Expert because, regardless of the terrain and the snow, you easily and safely combine all types of turns (swaddles and big curves) .Your experience allows you to read the terrain well and to adapt your technique to all the situations you may encounter off-road: steep slopes (up to 35°), bumps, snow of different qualities (deep, tangled, crusted, frozen,...).
This week, enjoy yourself with your instructor who will refine your technique even more, and according to the wishes of the group and the climatic and terrain conditions, will make you discover a nice off-track and the most beautiful runs and spots in the entire ski area.
The course of this program is given for information purposes only.

A ski area open all year round!
