Ski and Fly

FLYT has partnered with SKIANDFLY in a collaboration to bring you Progression Speedriding Clinics in two of the best places to learn in the world, Chamonix & Val d'Isere, France.

France is the land of exceptional food, big steep terrain with an incredible diversity of riding and flying lines, fantastic snow security, and some of the most beautiful mountain settings making Chamonix & Val d'Isère 🇫🇷 two world-class destinations for entry-level, intermediate & expert speed riding.

During these 4 different speedriding clinics, we will explore various launches throughout Chamonix and Val d'Isère, France all based from your luxurious Chalet & Ski In and Out accommodations.

The goal of each week is to bring passionate people together who are looking to learn to speed ride or to take their speed riding skills to the next level; A fun and collaborative environment to work on being the best versions of ourselves. It’s a trip in which we will progress as speed riders and skiers, push ourselves to learn new things, both on and off the wing, and form new friendships and contacts with other pilots and skiers from around the world.

The boutique structure of each event allows us to run super small groups according to your level and progression throughout the course. Each week has five instructors looking after 18 participants. This is the *perfect* set-up for those who want to bring "THE SIGNIFICANT OTHER" and introduce them to speed riding without missing out any of the action and personal progression.
