We meet at the ESF office in Grands Montets (66 Chem. de la Glacière, 74400 Chamonix-Mont-Blanc).
If your youngster, aged 8 to 15, already has their Gold Star and is looking for more thrills, our Team Rider lessons for advanced skiers at Grands Montets are perfect for them! Nestled in the awe-inspiring French Alps, Grands Montets offers breathtaking views and a variety of challenging terrains. The resort is renowned for its excellent facilities, including modern lifts and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it a favourite among ski enthusiasts.
Our Team Rider lessons are specially designed for young advanced skiers aiming to enhance their skills both on and off the piste. The first lesson begins with a warm-up on the wide-open slopes, where the instructor will assess each child’s technique. This is crucial for tailoring the lessons to improve their confidence and technique. The group then moves to more challenging areas, where they learn to tackle varied snow conditions and develop a keen awareness of mountain safety. These skills are essential for mastering the slopes and enjoying skiing to the fullest.
As the lesson progresses, participants will explore the scenic backcountry of Grands Montets under the watchful eye of our experienced instructors. They will practice advanced carving techniques, learn to navigate through trees and narrow paths, and experience the thrill of off-piste skiing. The focus is on refining their skills while instilling a deep appreciation and respect for the mountains. This adventure not only boosts their skiing ability but also fosters camaraderie and a lasting love for the alpine environment.
We meet at our office in Les Grands Montets, 15 minutes before the start of the lesson.
