We believe skiing is for everyone. Designed for those who use a wheelchair or have difficulty coordinating their lower limbs, our Adaptive Sit-Ski Lessons in Courchevel provide specifically-tailored tuition to ensure you can enjoy the thrills of the mountain safely and with confidence. If you are a paraplegic or have had a lower limb amputation then this is the discipline for you.
We hold annual sit-ski training courses for our instructors covering the equipment, skiing technique and adaptive skiing teaching methods. Kind and patient, our instructors know the mountains by heart and have the understanding and experience to teach and accompany you.
You can choose and request what suits you:
Piloted Sit-skiing for wheelchair users who lack coordination. The instructor steers the machine and lets them discover the thrill of skiing.
Independent skiing for wheelchair users or those who have difficulty coordinating their lower limbs. The instructor will teach you how to ski independently, although good coordination of the upper limbs is essential.
Included:
- One instructor per student
- Sit ski equipment (dual ski or uni ski)
Arrival Instructions / What to Bring:Meeting point:

Very warm clothing is highly recommended - although a blanket covers the lower limbs, the body cools down more quickly due to the lack of activity of the person in the chair.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING
"Isle Blue is everything they say they are. They were a pleasure to deal with and were very responsive and informative. The pictures on their website are exactly what you end up getting and they provide full concierge service throughout your stay. My family and I had an amazing time and before we even returned home, we went to the Isle Blue website to check out their inventory for our next vacation. They really are just that good!"
