It’s at 4 years old that Benoît put on his very first skis, an experience that left him with mixed feelings. He thus devoted the next ten years of his life to the practice of cross-country skiing. Then, he had his professional awakening during a snow class with his Parisian colleague and decided to turn his passion into his profession. Thanks to ski competitions, he gained significant qualities that are essential to ski instructors. Originally from Lyon, he discovered the resort of Avoriaz at 15, since then, he still discovers places from time to time. To teach in the best conditions, his pedagogy allows students to practice and quickly understand the techniques. For him, being an instructor at esf Avoriaz means representing the values of the ski school along with the great knowledge of instructors. 

In winter and summer alike, Benoît works in the field of sports education in several forms. His life rhythm alternating between city, sea and mountain allows him to take part in many cultural and sports activities. Lastly, Benoît chose to not tell us about his favourite slopes in Avoriaz, maybe he’ll tell you more during your esf lessons!
