Patrick wanted to become a ski instructor to make a living from his passion. Born in Lyon, he discovered the joys of skiing as a child, during family days out at the Chamrousse ski resort.
For him, winter sports offer the chance to share in the incomparable sensations of sliding, great moments of happiness, but also to discover magical places. He came to Val Thorens on a qualification course organised by UCPA, and appreciates the friendliness and professionalism of the ESF.
Patrick offers ski lessons that are conducive to discovery, and delivers them in a positive atmosphere. This approach allows his students to progress at their own pace and improve their slide technique and balance.
With a wealth of experience in sports activities - mountain leader, hang-gliding, paragliding and kiteboarding instructor - Patrick is also a keen cyclist and traveller. He's also been ski touring in Italy and Austria, expeditions he won't soon forget!
