Pro Range

These sessions are for intermediate to advanced skiers who want an experience and some local knowledge while they are on holiday. Our ProXplore sessions can be piste ski guiding with tips on the way, such as our Espace Killy Experience or a full off piste adventure. We are always careful to match the lesson to our instructor’s specific skills and passions, as well as making the most of the available terrain.

These really are the sessions make our instructors think that they have the best jobs in the world.  This is not normal ski school. The emphasis will be on learning on the move. We will help you improve at the same time as showing you why we love skiing in the Espace Killy. We start at 9am to beat the queues so don’t be late!

Here are some of the examples of the sessions you could choose from.

The Espace Killy ski area is a vast network of pistes. Tignes is often famed for its high level terrain but  there is some great skiing for intermediates if you know where to look. Join us for a rewarding morning of exploration. Like the pistes from Aiguille Percée to Le Lac are gentle, wide blues. Tignes’ local slopes are ideal intermediate terrain. Or some local knowledge, like the runs on the Grande Motte glacier which nearly always have superb snow so although they are classified as red, they are wide, so when right they are perfect for the blues cruiser.

This is not normal ski school. The emphasis will be on learning on the move. We will help you improve at the same time as showing you why we love skiing in the Espace Killy area. We start at 9am to ensure we earn our morning coffee!

We provide coaching on the move to help you get the most out of each descent. Mainly explore the best blacks, or just off the side for some hidden adventures.  Whether it’s the bumps under  Tommeuses, or tackling the long black run from Tovière to Tignes-le-Lac, with steep sections you will use your instructor’s knowledge of the mountain to provide a rewarding and exciting adventure.

As with all our ProXplore courses, this is not normal ski school. The emphasis will be on learning on the move. We start at 9am.!

This is where Tignes, and the whole of the Espace Killy really comes into its own. This area is a mecca for off piste. Join an Espace Killy Off Piste Experience and you’ll get a proper taste of some of the most famous runs right on your doorstep. Our favourites are The Valley de la Sache. Access is easy but it offers 900 meters of vertical in a valley remote from ski lifts. Or fancy something steeper, Just a short hike up to the Col du Chardonnet leads to a choice of couloirs (some up to 40º) gaining access to the Chardonnet Bowl, a big  favourite with instructors as there’s usually fresh tracks to be had.

These are just a few of the places you may have conquered within a 5 hour session and have really earned your Tartiflette! Obviously all these sessions are “conditions permitting” but with one of our instructors on hand you can be sure that you will find the best snow available while you are here. We can provide you with off piste safety equipment, or recommend where to hire it. We guarantee tired legs and a whole host of skiing achievements to recount to your friends back at the chalet!

Please note: We have a limited supply of mountain safety packs available that are allocated on a first come first serve basis. If they are being used then we will be happy to help you hire packs from local shops.
