Passionate about winter sports, Fabien has been transmitting his passion for 18 years, always having fun !

Originally from Auron, in the Alpes-Maritimes, Fabien starts skiing at the age of 3, pushed by a dad who worked as a ski instructor. Happy as ever on the slopes, he immediately fell in love with this sport.

Subsequently, Fabien participates in some competitions and championships in France, without much success. He realizes that medals and competition spirit are not really for him. He prefers to practice his sport just for pleasure and does not feel like competing with others.

His father, a passionate ski instructor, also conveys his love for teaching and his love for work well done. Fabien decides to follow in his footsteps. Being an instructor is very rewarding for him, it is an exciting job that allows him to transmit his love of skiing, snowboarding and mountains, but also to open up to an ever-changing clientele. A profession he still loves practicing after 18 years.

Fabien says he arrived in Courchevel by some stroke of luck. At that time, his father and himself were in office in Auron, a small ski resort not far from Nice. It was in March and there was not much snow. His father therefore took the initiative to ask the ESF of Courchevel 1850 if they needed back up in their workforce. Fabien will never leave this place, amazed by the atmosphere of this exceptional area. In addition, the resort lacked snowboarders, a boon for this enthusiast.

To get his students to improve, the instructor uses playful teaching methods. A way to show his students that they can quite get pleasure without pressure. With the most fearful ones, Fabien plays down the situation through games and leads them to overcome their fears by clear stages of progression. He does not take himself seriously, simply enjoying the mountains and the infrastructure of the Trois Vallées.

During his 18 seasons of teaching, Fabien has had the time to build wonderful memories, all related to the great progress of his students on the slopes, whether they practice skiing or snowboarding. Seeing his students having fun, especially in off-piste skiing, is the most wonderful reward for this attentive instructor ! Voluble when it comes to talking about his clients, Fabien also says he enjoyed guiding on the slopes a lady from Venezuela, who had never seen the snow, and a man from Hong Kong, who thought he would never be able to progress.

Fabien had the chance to ski in Australia, which was a good experience, especially for his English level. A trip that also made him understand that Courchevel is an extraordinary area in which the atmosphere is unrivaled.

Sporty and curious, Fabien is interested in everything : winter sports, martial arts, climbing, reading, "geeking", music, etc.

Fabien thinks that the entire area of the Trois Vallées is fantastic. He does not have any preference for slopes or spots... Maybe the Méribel snowpark, which he considers well adapted to the freestylers that he happens to have as clients.
