Emmanuel was great with both my kids first ever time on ski / snow. He made their experience "the best day of my life" what more can I say. Perfection!
Great!
Nicolas was brilliant! He spent time with both of us separately to try to help and correct us. He didn't rush us to progress too soon but did it at our own speed. He was friendly and professional. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
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.
Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
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.
