Request a carving lessonWhat you'll get from carving lessonsFrom turning on instinct to turning on purpose.
Turns that come from technique
You stop turning with the strength of your legs and start turning with edge angle and pressure in the right place.
Speed with control
You gain speed because your technique allows it, not in spite of your technique.
Precision in every arc
The goal is for each turn to look like the last one, not for every run to be an improvisation.
The carving technique we work onFrom theory to the perfect turn.
Stance and edge angle
We work on your posture and how far you angle the ski so the turn comes from technique, not from force.
Pressure and control
Learn to distribute pressure across the ski or board to draw clean turns at any speed.
Speed and precision
Guided progression to gain speed without losing control, with technical feedback on every run.

Carving lesson pricesLessons from €110.
The price is for the whole lesson, not per person: if there are several of you, you share it. Pick your options and we will tell you what yours costs.
How many of you?
The price covers the lesson with the instructor only: it does not include the lift pass or equipment hire, and we sort both out separately. Each extra person always adds the same. If there are more than 10 of you, message us and we will organise it with you.

Frequently asked questions
What level do I need for a carving lesson?+
You should be comfortable on blue runs and in control of your speed. Carving isn't a beginner technique: it builds on a base you already have.
Is carving only for skiing?+
No. We work on it on a snowboard too, although the technique and the way you load the edges are different.
Do I need specific equipment?+
Mid-range gear in good condition is perfectly fine for carving. What does matter is that the edges are sharp.
Can I bring someone with me?+
Yes, and it works out cheaper, because the price is per lesson and not per person. What we don't do is put you with strangers: the lesson is private. For carving it helps if everyone coming is at a similar level, since edge work builds on the base you already have.
Does the price include the lift pass and equipment rental?+
No. The price covers the lesson with your instructor only. The lift pass and equipment rental are separate, and we can arrange both for you if you need them.
