A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE TRIP
Pure action/IndépendanceOn the program: 1 first warm-up session on Sunday afternoon depending on the time of arrival + 9 skiing or snowboarding sessions + possibilities of sliding independently on the slopes.
The concept is based on the maturity of 16-17 year olds and allows them to evolve independently at different times: during daily life, at certain times during activities (except off-road skiing), autonomy in transport, free time in the evenings...
The entertainment team plays a supporting and guiding role during the stay in daily life. 16-17 year olds are thus granted more freedom than in a traditional colony and live in a center that also welcomes adult audiences.
Young people compose their daily program with instructors and animators for optimal skiing: personalized technical advice, discovery of the ski area, ski activities in the area (kilometers launched, slalom, boarder cross), snowpark sessions, snowpark sessions, day trips and independent sessions.
As a reminder: choice of ski or snowboard support upon arrival (ski or snowboard) for the duration of the stay.
