Discover and share the thrills of skiing on the Grand-Massif slopes with an instructor, and push back the limits of disability to the point of independence.

The school has three types of chair to accompany you:
– Tandem ski: allows the instructor to take along people who are very dependent,
– Dual ski: allows you to try to be independent. The instructor is there if needed,
– Uniski: enables people with sufficient arm strength to ski independently after a few lessons. The instructor skis next to the wheelchair.

Opening

From 05/12/2026 to 17/04/2027 daily between 9 am and 5 pm.
Lesson times depend on the opening and closing hours of the slopes.
