He now gives lessons in French, English and Spanish in Val d'Isère, adopting a progressive and transparent teaching approach. Whether teaching competition, touring or off-piste, he makes sure that his students understand the objective of his exercises.<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Val d'Isère is now his favourite ski resort, where he particularly enjoys off-piste skiing and will happily let himself be tempted by the South face of the Charvet, which offers a diverse range of wildlife and scenery. It was to be able to pass on this passion that he started out as a ski instructor 20 years ago. And when he's not on the slopes, Victor spends his time designing and building in his carpentry workshop!<div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </div>

Her teaching approach is based above all on fun and patience. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She is passionate about skiing, but also about photography and hiking. She enjoys making progress in the midst of new snow-covered landscapes, each more idyllic than the last. For her, the slopes made of natural snow are the most beautiful and the best to ski down. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Cécile speaks French and English, and teaches skiing in both languages, so she can adapt to a wide audience. As a mountain guide in the summer and an instructor in the winter, she is keen to help you discover Val d'Isère and its peaks from every angle.<div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(67, 67, 67); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </div>
