Adaptive Skiing (Handiski) in Manigod
Adaptive skiing, Dualski, and specialized ski instruction: discover the mountains in a new way and share the experience with those accompanying you.
The goal: to enable everyone to enjoy a true skiing experience and make the most of the mountains.
Adaptive ski lessons with the ESF (French Ski School) in Manigod
The ESF in Manigod offers tailored support for individuals with disabilities who wish to discover or practice skiing.
Instructors, specially trained in adaptive skiing, guide skiers using a "Dualski" (a sit-ski device) and ensure that the experience is customized to each person’s skill level and personal expectations.
This service allows you to enjoy the slopes while accompanied by a professional who is well-versed in the specific requirements of adaptive skiing.
Dualski: A new way to experience the slopes
The Dualski is a specialized seat designed to allow people with reduced mobility to ski, accompanied by a trained pilot.
Seated in the device, the skier can enjoy the sensation of gliding on snow and take in the mountain scenery alongside their loved ones.
In Manigod, this activity offers a unique way to spend a day in the snow—whether it’s your first time on the slopes or a chance to rediscover the joy of skiing.
