Lessons last for 2 consecutive hours at least. The charge is that of individual lessons. As the number of chairs is limited, it is of utmost importance that you get in touch with us as soon as possible in order to determine and book the type of material adapted for your handicap.
SKI
For beginners, the green run "Marvel" (6km) is well adapted with various terrain and a beautiful landscape.After that, the blue run called Sairon is wide and easy.
Then on the Grand Massif resort, you'll find other types of chairlifts and slopes to work in autonomy and to have fun.
New toilets on the slopes at the top of the chairlift Molliets.
At the ski school of Morillon, we own :
- A tandem ski : kind of taxi to discover the resort driven by the ski instructor
Available for everyone who wish to ski with family, with friends, or just with the pleasure of skiing. - A Kart-ski : this powerful kart brings more autonomy, the learning is fast and the pleasure is straight forward.
- A dual-ski : bob to learn autonomy in seat skiing. In a week you'll be able to ski down an esay run in autonomy (Thanks to Samoëns Handi-Glisse ! ).
- You can contribute to Tatu Handi Giffre association to get access to the equipment (€ 20)
- We are qualified as well to teach skiing to students with a mental disability.
- New: discovery and enjoyment of skiing for the visually impaired or blind.
For equipment (Tandemski, Kartski, Dualski, Uniski ...) the ESF has a partnership with Samoens-handi-glisse and tatu-handi-giffre. These two associations make the equipment available for their members(€ 20 subscription on site).
