Skiing with Kleefstra Syndrome in Montgenèvre is a dream come true for young Ollie

Skiing with Kleefstra Syndrome in Montgenèvre is a dream come true for young Ollie

The Ski 2 Freedom Foundation was delighted to have helped Ollie have a totally inclusive and accessible ski holiday thanks to the support we have from the Tobell Family - Making Dreams Come True

Ollie has Kleefstra Syndrome and is seen here skiing with his family in Montgenèvre, France. Ollie was guided around the mountain on the Tessier dual ski by specialist ski instructor, Thomas, from ESF Montgenèvre.

The family stayed at the CGH Napoleon apartments, booked through Powder White. Ski 2 Freedom arranged the adaptive ski sessions for Ollie and it was a really happy and memorable holiday for the whole family!

“Montgenevre was amazing (we had the best conditions!) Ollie and Joe are our sons. The CGH Napoleon was great but we did have a delayed check in. The kids loved the pool and it was a five minute walk to ski school. Ollie loved Thomas, his instructor from ESF Montgenèvre, he wanted him to come home with us! We may well go again next year and now he has a rapport with Thomas, we may try to get Ollie standing on his skis!!"

Ollie is dairy free and the restaurants were good with his needs. We had takeaway pizza one night and the Spar at the bottom of the Napoleon was great for shopping! “Thanks for a wonderful holiday!!!”
