Objective: To link Stem Christie turns on compact snow (blue pistes), safely and independently.
Contents: Getting into the right position on your skis. Learning about the fundamentals of a curve and the movements made during one. We will ski easy slopes in order to take in all of the concepts and work on the basic technique (position, direction, load, acceleration, symmetry, etc.), the technical movements of skiing downhill and the phases of a turn.
Prerequisites: This is an introductory level course, for people who have never skied before or who have tried it only briefly before.
Duration: 4 days, consisting of 7 hours of practical sessions each day and 2 hours of theory sessions in the afternoon, in which we will assess the day’s lessons with the help of audiovisual material. We will go over technical aspects, decide together on routes to take, and talk about the material covered. These days tend to be very full-on. Get ready!!!

Notes: Every skier first needs to develop a basic technique. We must learn to walk before we can run. At this level we will give you all sorts of resources and practical tips on how to iron out the most common problems and bad habits that we all have when skiing.

Objective: To ski on all types of snow and slopes, over compact snow, safely and independently. To adapt speed according to the difficulty of the terrain. To start by skiing easy, safe slopes, with virgin snow, within the confines of a resort. To assess the risks that we may face and the methods we have at our disposal to descend safely. To consolidate the fundamentals learnt at level 0. In order to get ready for level 2, it’s well worth taking a little step back so we can then take two steps forward. At the next level we’ll start to show you some truly unforgettable places!!!
Contents: To ski safely on virgin snow, we need to know what we’re dealing with. At this level we’ll get plenty of practice for our technique on the blue pistes. This will help us to correct many mistakes that could otherwise provoke a fall on a red piste, where the snow conditions aren’t so good. We will learn to recognise both our strong and our weak points when facing virgin snow.

Notes: Skiers who have achieved all of the goals set for levels 0 and 1 will be ready to start skiing virgin snow. Skiing on virgin snow is a risky activity. It requires commitment and responsibility. These courses are designed to give you plenty of information which will undoubtedly help you to better understand the mountain. Our responsibility is to guarantee your successful training.

Objective: To ski routes on virgin snow and prepare to go off-piste. To take full advantage of the possibilities that a ski resort offers us, and to later try out what we’ve learnt on untreated snow.
Contents: The practical sessions will consist of skiing hard on the pistes in order to be safe off of them. A compact, familiar terrain will be ideal for discovering our limits in terms of personal technique. Knowing these limits will be a great aid when it comes to tackling off-piste skiing.
