2025 SKIING TOUR PROGRAMME
SKIING IN BEAUTIFUL COURMAYEUR, ITALY
FULL - BACK FOR 2025
THURSDAY 15th - SUNDAY 19th JANUARY 2026
(and/or the previous week)
After travelling and working throughout the Alps for 25 years I have found Courmayeur, Italy to be an excellent base for my individual and group coaching. Aside of the varied terrain the resort was superb in comfort, facilities and service. I really believe it offers far higher quality and thus better value for money than just about anywhere else in the Alps right now.
We will be staying at a 4* Hotel Maison St. Jean in Courmayeur centre. This is a beautifully appointed hotel in true alpine decor, an excellent restaurant. There is also a pool, sauna and hammam to relax after a hard day on the slopes.
This trip is aimed at those wanting to break through the ‘intermediate plateau’. By that, you can ski reds and some blacks comfortably but struggle in bumps and deeper snow. I will show you how to negotiate them by learning and applying some simple ideas and new skills.
There will be regular video sessions which is the best way to analyse and develop your skiing technique. We will have our own transport so depending on ski conditions, we will also explore the nearby resorts of La Thuile & La Rosiere.
Come and join me, it will be great!
