Handiski / Taxiski
Tailored support for your child
The ESI handiski and taxiski services make mountain discovery and the sensations of skiing accessible to people with disabilities or reduced mobility. Depending on individual needs, support and equipment allow discovering the slopes or rediscovering the pleasure of skiing in adapted conditions.
Because each person has different expectations and abilities, the outing is prepared individually. The instructor takes into account your level of autonomy, your physical abilities and your experience of skiing in order to determine the appropriate formula and accompaniment.
A preliminary discussion helps clarify your needs and organise the activity as well as possible. You thus benefit from attentive supervision, designed to combine comfort, safety and the pleasure of enjoying the mountains.

A practice adapted to each person
The handiski allows you to discover or rediscover the sensations of gliding thanks to equipment adapted to the abilities of each skier. Several devices can be offered depending on the level of autonomy, mobility and ability to take part in steering. The equipment is thus chosen based on the needs of the person and the type of experience sought.
Before taking the slopes, the instructor introduces the equipment and explains the different steps of the session. The guidance then evolves according to the practitioner’s sensations, abilities, and expectations. This personalized progression fosters confidence and allows one to enjoy the mountain in conditions that are suitable.
The sensations of skiing
The handiski offers various ways to enjoy gliding with equipment adapted to the skier's needs. Depending on their autonomy, abilities and the equipment used, it can be practised independently or with an instructor trained in this activity.
The session is organized taking into account each person’s experience and the conditions present on the ski area. A first phase allows you to familiarize yourself with the equipment, its operation, and the sensations it provides. The course and pace can then gradually evolve according to the abilities and desires of the practitioner.
More than just a sporting activity, the handiski allows you to fully experience the mountains. Exploring the slopes, feeling the sensations of skiing and discovering the snowy landscapes are all opportunities to share a privileged experience in altitude.
