Sabrina
Taberlet Collombar
From Morzine, I have worked for more than 20 years at the ESF in Morzine where I was able to train and gain sufficient experience before launching in 2024 as an independent ski instructor. I am the mother of two girls, Tessa and Naomi. People say that I am passionate, a perfectionist and competent, perhaps quite simply because I love teaching and sharing my experience and passion for skiing. For me it’s a story of the heart. I am also a swimming teacher during the summer for over 20 years and have recently graduated in neuroscience. As you can see, I have everything one needs to provide you with quality teaching!

“Lolo“ the adventurer of the trio! Traveling took me to the four corners of the world, summer and winter, where I was able to ski and teach in different countries. After more than 30 years at the ESF Avoriaz, I am moving on to a new adventure as an independent instructor!
Hervé
Collombar
Originally from Morzine, I have been teaching and, above all, supervising off-piste skiing and snowboarding for over 25 years in the Portes du Soleil and the surrounding mountains. This playground no longer has any secrets for me, it is just waiting for you for an experience in the great outdoors full of challenges and incredible discoveries. To go further, hiking equipment is a valuable ally for reaching virgin slopes and gaining distance from marked trails. Also teaching swimming and technology, I am the ideal partner to supervise your outings with friends, family or professionals. Foodie by nature, I will also help you discover the best restaurants in the area!

So that skiing
is always a pleasure...

We have known Sabrina for several years now. Met for swimming lessons during a summer in Morzine where our 4 year old granddaughter was very afraid of the water; from the first lesson, our little girl felt confident thanks to Sabrina who knew how to find the words and explanations to make her want to overcome her fears. In just a few lessons, the progress was incredible and swimming in the pool really became a pleasure, head underwater and breaststroke without any fear. Learning that Sabrina was also a ski instructor, our little girl, who was due to make her skiing debut the following February, immediately wanted to start skiing with Sabrina. It was also a more than conclusive experience. Sabrina, very involved and very attentive, was able to introduce her to skiing with joy and good humor. Today our little girl will be 8 years old. She enjoys meeting Sabrina every year and from Piou to the 3rd star, progress and pleasure are always there. Thank you Sabrina for your kindness, and your professionalism!

Catherine

Sabrina has been our family alpine skiing and ski touring instructor for 6 years. Professional, available and very friendly. Our grandchildren are delighted every season to progress and take new steps in their techniques. Since then, the six of us can explore the area in complete safety, it’s a real pleasure. Thank you Sabrina!

Claudine and Bruno

My grandchildren, Arthur and Samuel, 11 years old, started skiing with Sabrina in February 2018. Very quickly they felt confident thanks to a fun, caring approach, respectful of their personality and their pace of learning. Videos demonstrate their progress and photos show their ease and enjoyment of skiing whatever the weather conditions. During COVID in 2020 Sabrina introduced them to other types of skiing through cross-country skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing in the forest. Very quickly we were able to ski with them every afternoon, Sabrina advising us on the most suitable slopes depending on the snow conditions in the resort and the exposure of the slopes. Every year, the children wait with joy and serenity for this week with Sabrina, and for the parents it is a real comfort to know that they are in such good hands. Sabrina also has swimming lessons in her huge toolbox, again in a fun form and a very fine progression which allows you to overcome all apprehensions.

Pierrette Pourron

As a British family who has been skiing in Morzine for the past 7 years, we’ve had a few different ski instructors, but none have made such a lasting impression on our children as Sabrina. She is an outstanding ski instructor who combines technical expertise with a caring, friendly approach that our kids absolutely love. We booked Sabrina for the last four times we’ve been skiing and we’ve seen remarkable progress in our children's technique and confidence on the slopes. Sabrina has a unique ability to tailor her lessons to each child’s needs, ensuring they improve while still having fun. It’s clear that she not only teaches them how to ski well but also encourages them to develop a real love for the sport. What stands out the most about Sabrina is her ability to balance safety and enjoyment. She teaches the kids how to ski safely in a way that’s never too serious but always effective. The children feel supported and confident under her guidance, and they look forward to their lessons with her every year. Her warmth, patience, and enthusiasm create a positive environment where the kids feel comfortable to challenge themselves while also having fun. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough – if you’re looking for an instructor who will help your children improve, stay safe, and enjoy every minute on the slopes, Sabrina is the one!
