Career path and expertise
Originally from the forests of the Jura, which I roamed throughout my childhood, I got my first name from Britt Lafforgue, an alpine ski champion that my parents admired.
When my family moved to Flaine, I joined the ski-club, mogul skiing section. In a few years I reached the top level and participated in the European Cup. Unfortunately, injuries put an end to my sporting career as well as to my dreams.
But I keep only positive things! This discipline has allowed me to become a complete and versatile skier, who likes to get off the beaten track. As for the experience of competition and its difficulties, it has made me a resilient person. It has given me the strength and expertise to accompany my students in all circumstances, to help them progress and approach skiing with confidence.
I lived in Chamonix for 20 years. There, in the heart of the glaciers, I discovered the high mountains thanks to my role as project manager for the association « En passant par la montagne », which aims to help people in social difficulty discover the mountains and their values. A great school for life.
Ski touring is a discipline that I love to practice as much as to teach, to help people discover the mountain in its wild state, to observe it, to listen to it, to rise above it thanks to our will and our strength. I’m keen to share my knowledge so that you can develop your intuition and become self-reliant.
The Chamonix valley and surrounding area is a great place to get away from the slopes quickly, and go up to enjoy long, beautiful descents.
I mainly teach downhill skiing, but I also take great pleasure in introducing students to ski mountaineering and off-piste skiing. I accompany my students in private lessons or in small groups.
My speciality? One- or two-day discovery outings, ideally combined with a meditation, Pilates or yoga session. Happiness…
