You can télémark anywhere you can ski - there are no limits other than those imposed on you by your thighs!

If you are a good skier, two afternoons of instruction will suffice for you to start having some fun on green and blue pistes. If you are a complete beginner, the progression will be at the same rate as if you were learning to ski. 

The school specialises in off-piste skiing lessons and ski touring. You can book morning, afternoon or full day lessons - whatever suits your group the most.

The instructors will help you improve your technique off piste and discover new routes. If you would like to try ski touring, they will find the best snow available for you to enjoy.
