How do you assess your skiing ability?
The G.O® team will guide you to the right course
Want to know how much you can improve? At Club Med, the group sessions offered in the All-Inclusive Package are divided into different levels so that everyone can progress at the right pace. Find out how to best estimate your skiing level and that of your children.
The right course for the right level
Once your enrolment has been validated (on site or beforehand on the Internet), the centre manager organises the week according to the experience of each G.M®. If you're staying for a week, the first session takes place on Monday morning. You start by sliding down a hundred metres or so, so that the instructor can assess your descent and place you in the right course. Surrounded by people of equal ability, you'll feel confident and more motivated than ever.
