Course Info
The course will be running continuously from Monday to Friday. Unless you are planning to take a day or two extra at either end of your trip, you should aim to arrive in resort the night before the course and depart either on a late evening Friday flight or Saturday flight. 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.
We ski each day from 10am until 3pm and take a lunch break at approximately 12.30pm. We will be filming regularly and doing video analysis throughout the week. The videos will be reviewed and analysed most days at convenient times that don’t interfere with skiing.
The groups are a maximum of 6 per instructor.
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 videos here.
New for 2024, the Academy will be offering accommodation in Chalet Falcon – a beautiful 5-6 bedroom chalet in Le Chable. The Chalet will be exclusively offered to Academy clients with fixed pricing that doesn’t fluctuate depending on the time of the season! For full details and pricing please click here.

If you’re looking to get to resort in a more environmentally friendly way or just don’t like flying; the train journey from London is really straightforward and a pleasure to experience. You can use https://www.thetrainline.com to find prices and look at the journey simply choose London-Lausanne or London-Geneva and your dates.
