Cours particulier Handi-ski, Go To Ski - Belle Plagne

Belle Plagne - Savoie Mont Blanc

Handi-ski, Go To Ski

Handi-Ski with ELPRO SKI SCHOOL

In response to its commitment to meet the needs of all in the field of private ski lessons, El Pro Ski School and the Association ‘La Glisse pour Tous’ have joined forces to offer private Handi-ski lesson from winter 2021/2022.

Handi-ski will be available mainly from Belle Plagne as these areas are the most accessible for those with reduced mobility.

Easy access from the car park onto the piste and snow front will allow you to get straight onto your skis and give you direct access to the ski domain.

We will also be able to adapt our services to suite Plagne Bellecote. We will contact you to organise a suitable location, taking into consideration your accommodation and the terrain, so that you can leave directly on skis.

Sit ski lessons, run by a fully qualified state recognised Ski instructor who has also been trained to use the relevant equipment: This material is intended for disabled people who cannot ski independently or even stand on their own. It can also enable the visually impaired to appreciate the amazing sliding sensations of skiing, fully looked after by the instructor.

Standing Ski lessons, Go To Ski: This method was developed by an Instructor here in la PlagneThis technological development allows anyone who is disabled but can stand for at least 30 seconds to ski. The sessions are 1h30 in the morning and 1h30 in the afternoon. Thanks to this equipment and with the aid of the ski instructor, 76% of people with disabilities are able to ski standing up! The objective of Go To Ski is to allow the disabled skier to perform carving turns and to ski parallel with the aid of the handlebars of the Go To and the guidance of the ski instructor skiing alongside.  These ski lessons are also suitable for those with visual and hearing impairment.

Taxi Ski with El Pro Ski School
Are you able bodied but new to skiing?
Have you already tried skiing using traditional learning methods but didn’t get on very well? Would you like to learn to ski with as little risk as possible?
You will appreciate the joys of skiing thanks to your instructor and specially designed equipment.
In the Taxi Ski, you can discover the La Plagne Paradiski ski area, without even having to know how to ski! Jump into the Taxi Ski and whizz down the slopes of one of the most beautiful ski areas in the world.

Are you finding it difficult to learn how to ski even after a few attempts? The Go To Ski is the right piece of equipment to help you stay upright, to not cross your skis and to experience the joys of carving. It is much less physical than skiing  thanks to the additional support of the handlebars and the technology which keeps  the skis parallel whilst maintaining  the varying height of the uphill and downhill ski -, just like a dahu!

THE EQUIPMENT
All of our Handi Ski and Taxi Ski lessons are possible, thanks to the La Glisse Pour Tous, loan of the equipment.
The lesson price pays for the instructor but the use of the equipment is free, thanks to the Association ‘La Glisse pour Tous’.
We would like to suggest that our clients make a donation to the association, which will help them maintain existing equipment and purchase new equipment when needed and as soon as it is possible La Glisse Pour Tous wants to put in place a system where they pay for a part of the lift pass for El Pro Handi Ski clients.

ASSOCIATION ‘la Glisse Pour Tous’
The Association Created in August 2021 by Mathieu Leroy and his mother. Being an ‘association’ or a non-profit organization allows Mathieu the founder of the association, firstly ‘to make skiing accessible to all in la Plagne’ through grants and donations from various organizations which enable the purchase of the equipment needed. It allows the Handi Ski and Taxi Ski clients to borrow the equipment rather than paying a rental fee. The average cost of a chair is 2,500€.
Secondly, once the equipment has been funded, the aim of the association will be to help families with a disabled person  to ski in la Plagne,  by financing a part of their ski pass.

Mathieu
Why did you approach El Pro?
I approached El Pro as we share the 2 same values – El Pro the company has always wanted to work with and for people and to be  at the service of the holidaymaker.
What studies and training have you done?
I’m originally from the north of France, i arrived in la Plagne in 2008 to do a training course to become a ski instructor. In 2010 I had the opportunity to train on a internship at El Pro as a sales advisor, where Eric Laboureix saw my potential and amazingly let me manage a small shop on my own. It was that year that i discovered what it meant to be at ‘the service of’
I also passed my technical test, the entry test for the Ski Instructors diploma.
I then joined the Ecole de Ski Français to teach and continue studying and training as a ski instructor. Having learnt a lot alongside my fellow ski instructors, passed my final instructors exam in January 2019.
I then followed Marc Gostoli’s Go To Ski training course and Andrea Bonrey’s BASS (Borney Adapted System Snowboard) training. Following this training, I approached El Pro again with a view to bringing the following together:

My passion, for skiing
My job, Ski Instructor, and my ambition
My dream, to make skiing accessible to all!
