KARV SKI ACADEMY  / Train local. Ski global.

Val-d’Isère / Tignes,
France

DECEMBER 18 – 25, 2026

This December, KARV is taking the academy beyond the desert and onto the real thing, the French Alps!

Tignes is one of Europe’s premier ski destinations, known for its high-altitude terrain, reliable snow, and slopes suited to every level of rider. For our students, it’s the natural next step: a chance to take everything learned on our indoor slopes and put it to the test on a real mountain.

pre-trip training program

In the lead-up to departure, participants will join a dedicated pre-trip training program combining on-slope sessions at KARV with gym-based strength and conditioning. It’s designed to build the technique, balance, and stamina needed to make the most of every run, so that by the time we land in Val-d’Isère / Tignes, everyone is confident, capable, and ready to ski or ride at their best.

Gym-based conditioning

Building the strength, balance and endurance needed for a full week on the mountain, so day six feels as good as day one.

On-slope sessions at KARV

Refining ski and snowboard technique with certified coaching on our indoor slopes — so the movement patterns are already there when you reach the mountain.

By the time we land in Val-d’Isère / Tignes, everyone is confident, capable, and ready to ski or ride at their best.
