Born in Bourg Saint Maurice, Cathy has been an instructor for 30 years, driven by her love of skiing. 
About
With 30 years of experience, Cathy is a versatile instructor who will share her love of skiing with you in a joyful and cheerful atmosphere. She believes that the best way to teach skiing skills is to help her students gain confidence. 

The resort of Tignes Val Claret is very important to Cathy. Indeed, having grown up here, she sees the resort as her home, containing a lot of childhood memories. According to Cathy, the ESF and its instructors share important values such as sharing, a personalized welcome and quality technical instruction. 

Her best teaching memory is that of her very first American customer who kept repeating "oh it's huge" as soon as they reached a peak. She also mentions the smiles of her clients as well as the incredible progress of beginners. 

A competitor at heart, Cathy has competed from an early age at the regional level. Thanks to her many trips to Japan, Russia, Switzerland, Italy and Austria, Cathy has been able to see that she is lucky to ski in the Tignes ski area, which is the most beautiful area in the world! 

Her favourite slopes are the Double M and Les Brévières for its vegetation.
