What we offer
We offer "one on one" coaching, guiding and instruction based on the ability, desires and needs of our
clients, from "never-evers" to expert levels on day trips with certified Guides in spring and helicopter
drops in the Italian and Swiss Alps!.
We listen and speak your language; we can teach you to understand the fundamentals of skiing, you will
learn accurate easy movements that will have you progress rapidly.
We believe that skiing and learning to ski is fun especially if you have teachers that love what they
do, we take pride in doing so and all with a big smile!
» Our lesson prices are very competitive. An innovation with SkiPros is if you are a group of
more than 4 the 5th up to 8 persons ski free... so if you are a family or a group the best tuition is
still easily affordable.
The intermediate rut
This is one of the biggest areas of concern for many skiers. SkiPros coaches have developed a course to
help just about everyone breakthrough and ski the whole mountain well and safely and not just green or
flat blue runs. Review the teaching topics page and you will see what we suggest.

level resorts are closed. In the summer the glacier on the Plateau Rosa is one of the largest in Europe
and can offer excellent training.

a large variety of accommodation ski hire and local knowledge about restaurants etc.

activities such as local cooking class, mountain walking, tennis, mountain biking, golf or exploring
the local cultural sites. All in French!
