Learn 
without fear

The Intro-Plus Zone: the new approach to learning to ski and snowboard. Thanks to our Terrain-based learning zones, all new skiers and snowboarders can learn at their own pace, in complete safety. This tried and tested method is available at all six of our Sommets.

Simplifying the introduction
to gliding

 

From booking to first descents, we're with you every step of the way. The Intro-Plus Experience, available at all our Sommets, is:

  • A self-learning course to develop skills and independence
  • A range of specialized packages
  • Groomed trails
  • State-of-the-art facilities

 

The Intro-Plus Zone offers skiers and snowboarders a safe, delimited environment where speed and turns are naturally controlled by the terrain. This innovative profiling eliminates the apprehension of going downhill, while enhancing the pleasure of riding.
