Make the most of your holiday in Le Grand Bornand to put (back) on your skis!
Our adult ski lessons offer an ideal environment for anyone who wants to learn to ski, brush up on the basics, or simply continue to progress in good conditions. Our lessons take places in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, guaranteed by groups of 9 people maximum (6 for first timers) and deeply passionate instructors who will be there to help you gain confidence.
The courses have different levels, from complete beginners to more experienced skiers. For beginner lessons, our instructors are there to guide you through each stage of your learning process, from getting to grips with the equipment to the first turns and snow ploughs. You'll progress with confidence, so you can quickly explore the area with your family or friends. We are flexible and listen to your desires and expectations. With the more experienced skiers, we can focus more on technique and in particular mastering carving turns, while learning to ski on all types of snow.
Meeting time
We meet 10 minutes before the ski lessons for adults start to divide the groups.
Ski pass
First-timers don't need a ski pass on the first day of the lessons. The instructor will advise you when to buy the ski pass. All skiers need a ski pass for the first day of the lessons. You can buy your ski pass before the first lesson at the ski lift ticket office or online.

Stefan was an excellent instructor. Very patient and tried hard to include advice for all members of our group who were at slightly different levels (5 in our group).
Very cheerful even when conditions were challenging!
