Test Flèche: a giant slalom event to challenge yourself

Your visit to Méribel is the perfect opportunity to set yourself a new challenge. The Test Flèche offered by the esf is a giant slalom event lasting around 40 seconds.

This technical discipline of alpine skiing takes the form of a large slalom with frequent wide turns. On the long run, you'll pass through between 20 and 35 gates over a vertical drop of 200 to 250m.

Stability of support, speed and technical skill will all be required to perform well in this competition. The results are then calculated on the basis of the basic time achieved by an esf instructor opener before the start of the test. You'll have plenty of time to hone your technique and try your luck on the podium.

Chamois Test: show your reactivity on this special slalom

In the special slalom event known as the Test Chamois, the gates are replaced by more poles. During this technical competition par excellence, skiers pass between 30 and 40 poles with a difference in altitude ranging from 120 to 200m. Although the difference in altitude is less than in the Chamois Test, the difficulty is no less. You'll need to be quick and responsive to negotiate the tight bends correctly over short distances.

Practise optimising your trajectories if you hope to beat your rivals and get as close as possible to the time set by the opening monitor! Here too, performance will be calculated on the basis of the instructor's base time.
