Skiing with Ocular Albinism in Les Gets

Our first ever family ski holiday which I never thought would be possible. Thank you Mountains 4 All in helping us with our dream!

Blind and visually impaired skiing is not easy but for Joshua and Harry (born with Ocular Albinism) they experienced their first family ski holiday last week in the ski resort of Les Gets.

Fabrice is a perfect ski instructor from ESF Les Gets who is very experienced in teaching blind and visually impaired skiing.
