Unlike many resorts which have developed a predominance of one nationality, Nendaz is fortunate that it welcomes a wide range of visitors from all over Europe (and the world). It’s a relaxed, friendly & family orientated resort: the right size to get to know visitors and locals alike. And as the local language is French, it gives you a great opportunity to practice and improve your French.

To help you, we provide French lessons during five weeks of the BASI GAP Year course, which include:

• general written and oral French in a friendly atmosphere.

• learning of essential grammar points for all levels, improving communication skills, written and oral comprehension, role plays.

• specific terms relevant for ski and snowboard teaching.

PS If you don’t want to speak French you don’t have to, but it’s one of those opportunities you might not want to miss…
