Gaps For Grownups

If you are:
.....a grown up (over 35 ish)
.....an intermediate skier (good parallels on blue runs)
.....fairly confident
.....a bit fed up of skiing in one resort all week

And you would like to:
.....indulge in small private group lessons
.....spend a week being guided around the neighbouring resorts
.....improve your skiing
.....have the opportunity to try other snow sports (touring, telemarking…. )
.....generally enjoy yourself, (a week of instruction and adventure, your days planned, meals cooked, wine poured…)

Then you may like to consider this ski holiday.
Each day we will take small groups (we will make sure the slightly less confident members don’t mix with the wilder ones) to explore Val d’Isere, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Pralongnon, Champagny and weather permitting, venture over to Italy.

During the day we can introduce you to different aspects of mountain life such as avalanche safety, piste navigation and restaurants! You are allowed to be by yourselves for lunch, providing you don’t get lost!

In the evenings, your performance during the day (particularly after lunch!) will be witnessed by all, on video, which is used as a constructive aid to develop your skiing. Advice is available to you on equipment, ski maintenance and correct boot fitting. We may also discuss the importance of sensible eating and drinking but we certainly do not intend to put this into practice!

Your accomodation is in a large recently renovated chalet set in one of Courchevel’s small hidden Hamlets, with a stunning back drop of one of the most spectacular alpine regions in Europe. Spacious living/dining area with open fire and small home cinema room provides a relaxing atmosphere for replaying our daily adventures

One large kitchen provides you with breakfast and dinner (lunch time, you are allowed to escape and be independent providing you don’t get lost)

And, most importantly, one enormous, extremely efficient corkscrew (to enable us to sample regional wines easily)

We also have our own gym and sauna (essential) with a garden covered in snow to run around beating yourselves with twigs (optional ! )

If you make it upstairs, you will find five, comfortable twin or double bedded rooms.
