Sliding Experiences
Paradiski is an infinite playground.
From the first turn to the vast wild spaces, I will guide you to make each outing a unique moment, combining technique, confidence, and thrills.
Off-Piste Skiing
Discover the great outdoors, immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the wild mountains, far from the marked trails. Because the mountain takes on a whole new dimension... when you leave the slopes.
Confident Progression:
- Guidance on the most suitable routes for your level, from your first off-piste run to the great classics.
- Learning to read the terrain and specific techniques for ungroomed snow.
- Training in the use of safety equipment (transceiver, shovel, probe).
- Each outing is designed to combine pleasure, progress, and respect for the mountain, whether you are discovering or perfecting your practice.
The use of safety equipment (Avalanche Transceiver, shovel, probe), which is provided for these outings, is systematic and its use will be explained to you.
I use a private VHF relay with radios to be in permanent radio contact with Mountain Rescue.
What to bring:
- Safety equipment (backpack, transceiver, shovel, probe) is provided. ABS backpack rental is possible.
- Helmet, ski or snowboard equipment (preferably adapted), and ski pass.
- Water, energy bars, and money for a drink.
- Sunglasses or goggles, sunscreen and lip balm, gloves.

Jump, turn, slide... Freestyle is the art of expressing yourself freely on all terrains. It's not just for "daredevils"; it's a discipline where technique is based on structured progression.
High-level coaching for everyone:
- Precise technical analysis and pedagogy adapted to each profile, from the skier discovering the park to the one aiming for performance.

Ski Touring
The ultimate nature experience: slower, freer, more intimate. By leaving the ski lifts behind, we rediscover silence, wide-open spaces, and the pleasure of making our own tracks.
Discover the mountain differently:

A fluid and motivating learning process:

Juniors, 13-17 years
At this age, sliding takes on another dimension: a need for challenge, a desire for autonomy, the pleasure of gliding without overthinking. My role is to frame this energy, to channel it into a progression that is both fun and motivating.
A serious method, never rigid:
- Exploration of varied terrains, from gentle freestyle to all-terrain.
- Each session mixes challenge, safety, and pleasure, for a structured and fun learning experience.
- Teaching good reflexes while respecting everyone's pace and desires.
- The goal is for skiing to remain a powerful moment, between challenge, progression, and big smiles.

Children, from 5 years
From a very young age, skiing is above all a game, an adventure where pleasure and safety are essential. Each session is designed to offer a balance between structured learning and fun.
Learning while thriving:
- Learning is done through playful activities adapted to the child's age and pace.
- Developing confidence, technical basics, and a love for skiing with kindness.
- Safety is at the heart of the teaching: respecting instructions and acquiring essential reflexes.

A PASSION TO SHARE
Born in La Plagne, I grew up with skis on my feet. Very early on, the mountain became my playground, then my learning ground. I competed until I was 19, before in turn passing on what I had received: the love of sliding, the precision of movement, the respect for the environment.
For over 20 years, I have been teaching at the ESF in La Plagne Aime 2000. In parallel, I coached for 15 years at the La Plagne Sports Club, training young people up to the highest level, several of whom have joined the world circuit. Having had the privilege of training Tess Ledeux in her younger years, the culmination of this work was her Olympic medal and her multiple world champion titles.
Today, I offer personalized lessons for all levels, for children as well as adults. What do I seek to transmit? A clear, committed practice, adapted to each person. Pleasure, technique, and another way of discovering the mountain: free, fast, without an engine — but always with confidence.
I am Timothée Hagnerelle, a passionate instructor, ready to accompany you for a unique experience on the slopes.

A FEW TESTIMONIALS
"I spent a simply perfect week of skiing with Tim. As an experienced skier, we first explored Paradiski for several days and then did two days of off-piste, including the north face of Bellecote. Having enjoyed these days and being naturally athletic, I wanted to try ski touring. Tim immediately proposed the ideal introduction: the ascent of Mont Jovet. He guided me perfectly, clearly explaining the specific techniques for climbing and kick-turns. We ascended at a steady pace, 'slowly but surely,' and the reward at the summit was simply magical: a breathtaking 360° view of the entire Vanoise massif. The descent was pure delight with the incredible feeling of being alone on the mountain. Beyond the technique, I loved his kindness, patience, and communicative passion for the mountains. I recommend him without hesitation. Thank you for everything!"

"At 50 years old and after 25 years without skiing, I was a little apprehensive about returning to the slopes. My level was intermediate, but I mainly lacked confidence. I wanted to take a lesson to get back into it, and from the first descents on well-chosen blue runs, he made me feel at ease. Thanks to his calmness, patience, and teaching method, I quickly regained forgotten sensations. Seeing that I was gaining confidence, we were able to explore more of the domain throughout the day... and the icing on the cake: I even skied down a red run with complete serenity! I highly recommend Tim for those who want to get back into skiing with confidence. Thanks to him, I was able to fully enjoy the rest of my week on the slopes. Thanks again!"

"We had an absolutely brilliant week of skiing with Tim. As a group of good skiers (definitely not pros), Tim did a remarkable job of adapting the sessions to our needs. His teaching is very effective: he gives valuable technical advice that allowed us to really progress and refine our technique, all in a simple and cheerful manner. He is as competent as he is friendly, which is an ideal combination. If you're looking to improve your skiing while having a great time, I recommend him without any hesitation!"
Owen B.
Leeds, United Kingdom
"Having skied in several resorts in North America and Europe, I thoroughly enjoyed my week of skiing with Tim. We covered the great off-piste classics of La Plagne, like the north face of Bellecôte, Friolin, and the Tour du Saint Jacques. Between an impromptu snack in the forest and a helicopter ride back after crossing the entire Paradiski to Villaroger, this week was full of great experiences. Beyond skiing, Tim introduced us to superb places where we ate very well on the slopes. Professional, passionate, warm, Tim was undoubtedly the best person to discover La Plagne with. A perfect week from start to finish!"
