Getting back into skiing after an injury: how to resume without fear?

Getting back into sport after an injury can be a real challenge.

To help you overcome your fears and get back on the slopes in the best possible conditions, we suggest you book a private lesson with a qualified instructor. Thanks to his perfect knowledge of the resort's slopes and the subtleties of the discipline, he will be able to guide you for a smooth return to sport in Les Menuires.

To be on the safe side, post-injury recovery must be gradual and follow a specific rhythm. Sprain, fracture... In all cases, you need to wait a certain amount of time before putting your ski boots back on. Once you've been given the green light, you can start skiing again, as long as you take the right precautions.

Whatever your level, it's best to start by tackling low-level slopes, so as to warm up your muscles and the previously injured area. Only then, under the guidance of your instructor, should you venture onto the more challenging slopes.

Familiar with such situations, your instructors will be able to advise and guide you so that you can practice your favourite discipline, while freeing you from any possible pain.

They will select the spots in the resort best suited to your needs, guaranteeing you unforgettable outings in the heart of the 3 Valleys.

What's more, your instructor will also be able to guide you as to the most appropriate discipline. For example, cross-country skiing may be less traumatic for your knees and ankles.

And don't forget that ESF instructors are there to listen. Do you need to stop for a few minutes to rest your joints or muscles? They'll point you in the right direction for a safe break.

As with any sport, getting back into skiing requires a certain amount of caution, but also the right equipment to take care of you while you're skiing.

From straps to splints, it's essential to find out beforehand what measures you need to take before putting on your skis, especially if your injury affects your knees or ankles.

Before you leave, book your private lesson so that you can gradually resume skiing at your own pace. With slopes adapted to your needs and gentle lessons, you can put your trust in our ESF instructors.
