"Car access right up to the resort with parking spaces reserved on the snow front. Transfer onto the machine and direct access to the chairlift which provides access to the entire ski area."

SKiing

Lessons last at least two consecutive hours and are charged at the personal lesson rate. As the number of wheelchairs is limited, you must make contact as early as possible to determine and book the material required by your disability.
For beginners, the Marvel piste (Green 6 km) is perfect, with its varied terrain and beautiful scenery.
Then in Morillon the Sairon blue piste, which is wide and easy.
Then take the various chairlifts to cover the whole area, to become independent and simply have fun.

On site, the ESF has at its disposal :

  • A ski tandem : a kind of taxi for discovering the ski area, driven by the instructor. Accessible to anyone who wants to ski, with their family, in a group, or simply for the pleasure of skiing.
  • Le ski-kart : a brilliant machine making its user highly independent, because it is so quick to learn and such fun to use.
