FREESTYLE ADVENTURE FOR TEENS (13 to18 yrs)

• Sessions in the snowpark and use of different modules to develop your skills.

• Off piste sessions where you build a kick.

• Skiers and boarders ride together.

• Training in mountain awareness and the use of safety equipment.

• Small group sizes to ride out of the way spots safely.

Crash helmets are compulsory for all skiers and boarders.
Skiers need twin tip skis.

Level required: Ski and/or board confidently on all pisted runs.

 

OFF PISTE

• Serre Chevalier has some great easily accessible off piste. Off piste is possible for everyone, but the slopes that you decide to descend must be adapted to your level.

• Our Off Piste Workshops lead you gently onto slopes and snow conditions that are adapted for learning. We teach you the different techniques that you need to ski on unpisted snow and turn you into an all mountain skier. Confidence is a major factor when you move away from the crowded pistes - learning a more varied range of techniques and a few clever tactics combined with the choice of the right terrain to learn will boost your confidence and give you access to a different side of the mountain.

• The choice of line is a primary point when snowboarding off piste. Our Advanced Snowboarding Workshops teach you about security in the mountains, when and if you decide to head off on your own.

• Private coaching by yourself or with a group of friends is equally a very good option to crack off piste skiing/boarding.

 

SNOWBOARDING

Anyone can learn to snowboard, but the progression is faster and easier if you have some experience of other board sports or are naturally a bit sporty :

• Our Snowboarding courses are limited to 8 max per group and you need to be 9 years old. Our snowboarding instructors use a little bit of freestyle throughout the teaching progression to improve your technique, but also to give you style and have fun.

• If you are not sure you want to commit to a week’s course, come and do Try Out Snowboarding on a Sunday afternoon. Try another slide to the mountain.

• Advanced Snowboarding Workshops are available which will take you off-pistes or improve your freestyle. It is easy to Snowboard in deep snow and you do not have to have a great level to start.

• Private coaching is particularly advisable if you need that little extra help to get off to a good start.
  
  

SKIING

The great thing about skiing is that you do not have to be particularly sporty. Skiing is a Leisure Sport, which means having fun, so anyone can learn from 3 to 93. 

The main thing is to find a type of lesson and instructor adapted for you (ie. Group lessons or private coaching?) :

• Our adult and children courses cater for beginner to intermediate skiers and have a maximum of 8, but 6 only for the Mini Kids - beginners aged between 4 and 5 yrs. This is a great value for money option.

• Advanced workshops are also available for one, two or three days. They look at learning skills in specific areas – off-pistes, bumps, slalom or carving.

• Private lessons cater for everyone, starting for the very little ones aged 3. Individual coaching will adapt to your personal requirements.

SNOWSHOEING

Snowshoeing is without a doubt the most environmentally friendly and one of the easiest ways to get around in the mountains. You only need to be able to walk to discover some of the quieter winter spots

• Open to everyone in all weather conditions.

• Guided by a fully qualified mountain leader.

• Learn about local history, snowcraft, faune and flora.

• Take some time out to soak up the mountain’s silence...
