The lessons were excellent for our 2 x 10 and our 8 year old. The communication was amazing. When we changed location to a more challenging ski resort no questions were asked and the request was accommodated. We stayed in Vallorcine and initially had our lessons booked in Le Buet, the slope there was far too basic for our little skiers. We were due to have a different instructor each day (we booked these lessons late) however after the kids bonding so well with Thierry we requested him on subsequent days and this was honoured. Thierry was fabulous, the kids came along leaps and bounds with him. Thank you so much, highly recommend.

What should I wear for my lessons?
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
When should I collect my equipment?
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.
Do I need to wear a helmet?
Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Where can I buy a ski pass?
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
Do I need to book my lessons in advance?
Generally, it is advisable to book lessons as early as possible. This is especially important during school holidays, such as Christmas and February, when lessons can fill up quickly.
What is the minimum age for the lessons?
The private lessons are suitable for children from 3 years old.
Where is the meeting point?
The meeting point depends on the skier's level. Beginners meet at the chalet at the "Stade de Neige" in La Poya, next to the Le Buet train station. Advanced skiers meet at the office next to the bottom station of the Vallorcine gondola.
When should I arrive for the lesson?
Please be at the meeting point that corresponds to your level 10 minutes before the lesson starts.
Are the lessons suitable for absolute beginners?
Yes, the lessons are ideal for children skiing for the first time. Instructors use game-based methods on gentle slopes and are praised in reviews for being very patient, helping children learn the basics and progress quickly.
Can the lessons be adapted to my child's level?
Yes, reviews confirm that the instructors are great at adapting the lessons to the individual abilities and character of each child, from young beginners to teenagers. If a slope is too basic, they can switch to a more challenging area.
