The French Ski School of La Chapelle d'Abondance offers group or private lessons for all levels, from beginners to advanced.
Group courses run from Sunday to Friday, with an end-of-course test on Friday.
The different levels of adult group classes:
Beginner :
If you've never skied before, or have tried it 1 or 2 times on your own, and would like to discover skiing and the mountain environment, join our ski group.
I'm getting to know the equipment and the snow.
I use my first ski lifts.
I control my speed and make snowplough turns.
I use different types of movement to work on my balance.
Class 1:
If you've been skiing for 1 to 2 weeks and would like to gain confidence and control over your speed and trajectories, join our Class 1 group.
I link basic turns (converging skis with a skidded finish on parallel skis).
I start to skid.
Class 2:
If you've been skiing for 3 to 4 weeks and would like to develop your skiing skills on different types of terrain and snow, join our class 2 group.
I can descend basic parallel turns.
I can do a basic scull and control my skids.
Class 3:
If you'd like to continue perfecting your technique, enjoy all-snow skiing on all types of terrain, take part in a slalom session or discover the Portes du Soleil ski area, we can arrange a private lesson or commitment.
Technical skiing, performance skiing, off-piste skiing.
