Skiing with confidence: how the ESF helps you when you're scared

Although the mountains attract many holidaymakers from all over the world every year, for some people skiing can be a real source of apprehension. Fear of falling, fear of speed or lack of confidence: blockages are not uncommon in skiing, especially for novices.

So whether you're just starting out or you'd like to get back on the slopes after a fall, the instructors at esf Courchevel 1850 will provide a safe and caring environment to help you turn your fear into pleasure!

Beginner skiers, and skiers who have had a bad experience on the slopes, can have a variety of fears about taking up the sport. So, if you want to overcome your fears and start learning to ski or take up the activity again, the best solution is to be accompanied by an instructor.

The esf instructor will take the time to listen to your fears and your progress, with the aim of suggesting exercises adapted to your needs. With a ski instructor, you'll be able to progress at your own pace, gradually familiarising yourself with the world of the mountains, discovering the basics of the discipline and building your self-confidence.

With a ski lesson, you'll progress in a safe environment, ideal for getting your bearings and making your learning more enjoyable.

esf Courchevel 1850 offers a variety of ski lessons to suit every holidaymaker's profile. We offer private lessons and group lessons for all levels, from beginners to experts, and for all age groups.

In this way, you can select the formula in which you feel most at ease to progress. Private lessons , for example, give you the benefit of personalised advice from your instructor. He or she will take the time to guide you, adapting precisely to your wishes and your pace.

Would you prefer to start or resume skiing in a friendly atmosphere, in the company of other skiers? Then a group lesson is the option for you! Carried along by the excitement and friendliness of the group, you'll be able to make progress in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to approach your skiing more calmly.

Taking lessons with the esf is more than just an introduction to downhill skiing. The advantage of the mountains is that there is a wide range of snow sports to choose from. You can discover the heights in a gentle way by first choosing to go snowshoeing along some of the most beautiful trails in the area, or you can opt for a cross-country skiing session. This Nordic activity is a great way to get to grips with the new sensations of winter sports, without having to go too fast.

With the right guidance, everyone will be able to find their balance and have a great time during their stay in the resort!
