Course Info
The course will be running continuously from Monday to Friday. The courses are designed to build and develop skill and confidence, to enable people to ski all terrains including Moguls, Steeps, Variables, Powder and how to Carve effectively on piste.
Skills are developed by practicing specific exercises that benefit the main topics. Progressively, the new skills are tested in suitable terrains to build confidence. Each skier is also looked at from an individual point of view to help understand their strengths and improve upon their weaknesses. The November courses are an ideal way to kick start your skiing for the season with clear direction in how to develop before the main part of the winter has even begun. The slopes are quiet, the snow is great and they’re a fantastic way to ski earlier than you may normally expect in the season!
We ski each day from 9am until 2pm and take a coffee/snack break at approximately 12.00pm. We will be filming regularly and doing video analysis throughout the week when useful. Often we will gather as a larger group on one of the days to watch the footage and analyse it in the evenings before dinner at the hotel. The video sessions make a huge difference to your understanding and awareness and the group sessions are a fantastic opportunity for a bit of a social too.
The course is suitable for Academy levels 1-6 on our rating scale. If you’re not sure of your level please have a look at the level videos here.

Travel information
We highly recommend flying into an Italian airport if at all possible. Cervinia is close to four international airports – Turin, Milan Malpensa, Milan Bergamo and Milan Linate. Turin is the closest, then Malpensa and then Bergamo and Linate – but all are within a easy 3hr driving to/from Cervinia.
Car: Car rental from within Italy is a very cost effective and easy way to get to resort. Cervinia is easy to reach, served by the A5 motorway, take the Châtillon/Saint-Vincent exit and head along the regional road to Cervinia for 28 km. Valtournenche is 19 km after Châtillon and 9 km before Breuil-Cervinia. If you’d like to car share please let us know and we’ll do our best to put you in contact with others on the course in a similar position.
Coach/Train: The nearest railway station is at Châtillon/Saint-Vincent (info and timetables www.trenitalia.it). From Châtillon, and also from Turin and Milan, there is a coach service to and from Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche (info and timetables www.savda.it).
Private Transfer: Transfers can be arranged based on demand. It is often easiest and quickest to contact the hotel for advice on this or anything else related to travel. Feel free to contact us too if helpful.

Testimonials
Just returned from the Wssa course in Cervinia in November. The conditions excellent and the course exceeded my expectations. I love to ski off piste and I use this week to increase my skill level on piste (and some off piste) and hopefully transfer these skills to the powder
I would fully recommend a Warren Smith 5 day Academy course for any skier who wants to improve their skiing technique and skills up to the next level or levels. I’ve just completed a November Cervinia course where conditions were amazing. The courses are very enjoyable and beneficial and I’ve had a great time!
What a difference a week makes! I discovered muscles I never even knew I needed to ski, have a whole load more to think about to hold my form this season, and had such a laugh! Thanks to the instructors and our fab group for such an awesome week
