I enjoyed the course very much, in particular the sense of being included as part of the team in the ski school. The training was excellent as we had regular technical input from 4 of the top full-cert instructors in the ski school. The shadowing was also very beneficial as we could observe and partic-ipate in classes of all levels form very young kids to high end adult classes and we were even given the opportunity to teach for a little while during some of the lessons. The social life was really good and I particularly enjoyed the many party nights in the Cactus Bar and the Sunday night jam session at the Canadian Bar. Nendaz was a great place to do the course as it had a very relaxed and open

It was very easy to get to know people and to be involved in whatever was going on. Everything was centrally located including our accommodation and the restaurant where we

snow and sunshine and easy access to a wide variety of high quality terrain that made it perfect All in all I had a great time.

You may not have heard of Nendaz. The neighbouring resort of Verbier is a more familiar des-tination for UK tourists but in fact all the best skiing in the 4 Valleys is in the Nendaz commune

It’s awesome and it’s Nendaz

itself is a smallish resort which means you will become a part of the community quickly and get invited to everything so you end up really feeling you belong. Neige Aventure is a very international ski school with instructors from Europe, Latin America and Australia. The school has featured on Swiss televi-

I did my gap course here in 2004 and have worked at Neige Aventure each season since then. 3 people from my course have been working here in Nendaz with me since then. Can’t think of a better recommendation.

Three years ago I decided to complete a ski GAP course with BASI and chose Nendaz because I liked the sound of the ski area and also the resort. I was also attracted by the opportunity to improve my French and by the possibility of finding work with Neige Aventure, the Nendaz ski

I wasn’t disappointed as Nendaz is a small resort where it’s easy to get to know people, but with access to the vast 4 Vallées ski area. After the course I was invited to return the following season to work for Neige as a ski instructor and I am currently here again enjoying my second season. The weeks of shadowing were also invaluable, as I was able to join various ski instructors and see exactly what goes on during lessons - the good and the bad! Ongoing training is also provided during this time, from a BASI qualified instructor who also acts as a kind of mentor. This was great because I had a main point reference and support. The accommodation was really nice, as were the meals provided at the Cantina restaurant every night. Below the restaurant is the Cactus bar, where most of the social life takes place, so we were always in the right place to enjoy a few drinks after a long day on the slopes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the course in Nendaz, even if it’s just to improve your skiing, meet new
