Learn to Ski Off-Piste

Telegraph travel journalist Clare Mann came to Val d’Isère last year to learn to ski off-piste. After trying four different ski schools, Clare awarded the good-value mainstream schools Oxygène and ESF 8/10, and the more expensive HAT and Progression both 10/10 (although the newspaper editor changed Progression’s full marks to an 8/10 – inexplicably). She stayed with YSE in Chalet des Neiges and describes how everything runs like clockwork.

Clare’s article was in the Sunday Telegraph on 17 February 2013.
