Olivier is a charismatic and effective teacher, capable of inspiring his clients individually, even in a group.

A bilingual French-Canadian, Olivier has been teaching since 1983, first in his natal Pyrenees, then the Alps. He does his utmost to ensure you are at ease and enjoy your skiing, while gently encouraging you to surpass yourself.

His Story

Olivier’s grandfather was a notable Alpinist and, in 1929, first to climb the demanding peak that bears his name – the La Pointe Jean Santé sur le Pic du Midi d’Ossau.

François Santé, Olivier’s father, was a climber, early Formula 1 racing driver and skier. He taught in the Pyrenees, the Alps and Quebec.

Olivier himself started young! Pictured here, 2 years old, in “Le Sud-Ouest”, in 1966: “Decouvrez ici… le plus jeune directeur technique: Olivier Santé (2 ans)”, and in 1993 he featured in the “Daily Mail Ski Magazine”, as a model of technique.

  And a model of technique he remains!
