About
Specialized in the discovery of the incredible 3 Vallées ski area but also in off-piste skiing, Jean-Sébastien's pedagogical approach is based on building the confidence of his students through simple exercises that promote balance, sensations and pleasure.

Having devoured the slopes since the age of 2, Jean-Sébastien comes from a small ski resort in Maurienne, thanks to Les Menuires, he has found a resort with the same sense of hospitality and sporting atmosphere that he loved so much. If he has chosen to teach at the ESF, it is thanks to kindness, respect, mutual aid and transmission which are the key words of the school. Before arriving in Les Menuires, he taught at Les Karellis, Courchevel 1650 and 1850 which allowed him to meet very different people in their expectations of learning to ski.

A great competitor, he has competed in alpine and nordic skiing. In addition to being an instructor, Jean-Sébastien is the manager of a craft company in the renovation of real estate. His skiing experience in Argentina has led him to discover a variety of terrain and equipment.

His best teaching memories are a "6 valleys" day which is an itinerary linking Les Menuires to Villaroger as well as the playful teaching in the Piou Piou Piou garden with children between 3 and 4 years old. His favorite track is the White Lady in the morning.
