Sylvain Ciais

Ski and Snowboard Instructor – Tignes and Val d’Isère

My Story

Born in the delightful city of Nice, I grew up between the sea and the mountains, naturally leading to my passion for skiing. My initial steps on the slopes were at the La Colmiane ski resort, where I joined the ski club and spent countless hours skiing with friends.

In 2016, I embarked on my professional journey as an instructor, and since then, I’ve accumulated seven years of experience teaching in various renowned resorts in Savoie, such as La Plagne, Les Arcs, and La Rosière.

When summer rolls around, I transition into a camp counsellor and director, further enriching my diverse background.

I consider myself a versatile instructor. With a passion for competition, I’ve also ventured off-piste, ski backcountry and alpinism for many years. My patience, especially honed through my summer work with children and beginners, makes me an ideal instructor for those taking their first steps on the slopes.

Although I’ve taught across all disciplines, I have a distinct preference for teaching snowboarding. Every descent is a new adventure, and I love sharing this passion with my students.
