All our ski clinics and private lessons are taken by fully qualified instructors who either work independently and are registered with the Swiss Government or employed by Freeride. We guarantee that we will provide a native English speaker or an instructor who we know speaks English to the high level of fluency demanded of such a technical sport. In addition, we work only with instructors who are passionate about their job and best match the type of group for their individual skill. For example, our bumps courses are run by Patrick Zimmerman, a fluent English speaker and ex-Swiss bumps team member.

Our instructors all live in Champery and will be happy to visit your chalet or hotel on your day of arrival and discuss your individual needs. We are happy to meet clients in other resorts within les Portes du Soleil for those people not staying in Champery.

Ski clinics and private lessons are open to all and not just clients staying in our accommodation.
