The French Snowsports Academy

With over 50 years of experience training school and university leavers to become ski instructors in France, The French Snowsports Academy or "Ski Formation" as it is fondly known in France, has led the way in introducing international participants to world-class French ski training. Having been lucky enough to experience this training for himself, before it was more widely available, British born TFSA director (Christian Delafield) decided to join forces with Danielle Feldtrauer, director of the Fédération Unie des Auberges de Jeunesse in Serre Chevalier. After 40 years of training French nationals to become ski instructors, it was now time for the Auberge to open its doors to the wider world and invite international participants onto their awe-inspiring training programs. Their vision has enabled Brits, Norwegians, Dutch, Canadians, New Zealanders, Australians & Americans (amongst others) to hone their skills on the slopes under the guidance of some of the very best race trainers in the industry. Whether you want to dramatically improve your technique or embark on a career as a ski instructor, TFSA courses provide a unique opportunity to train with like minded individuals, as well as some of the best “Formateurs” in the World.
