“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.”


About

Originally from Pralognan-la-Vanoise, Charlène has been a ski instructor for 10 years now. Driven by her love for skiing, this experienced instructor practices snowboard just as well as off-track skiing or freeriding.


Her teaching approach relies mainly on listening to her students about their desires and their capacities. Charlène keeps a plethora of memories of the many seasons she spent sharing her passion with children and adults. Two of the most significant include teaching how to ski to a young girl who had never seen snow before, and the smiles on the faces of the students of a multiski group who were discovering powder snow the day after a snowfall.


Since she was 3 years old, Charlène descends the slopes. Led by her desire to share her knowledge after years of competitions and to remain in the ski world, Charlène joined the ESF, a school with values she admires: exemplary expertise, conviviality and respect. Her favorite slope of the resort is the Saulire because of its drop and the surrounding valley.


Charlène discovered Courchevel when she was just a child, and it is to be closer to her hometown that she decided to become an instructor at Courchevel - the ski school, the attracting slopes and the vegetation tipping the scales in favour of the resort.


This passionate instructor participated in several competitions and championships, and has also tried almost all practices imaginable such as slalom, freeride, ski cross, etc.
