Group or private lessons?
Group lessons suit people who like a structured progression and the buzz of a group. Private lessons are more flexible and let you work on a specific weakness or progress quickly.
For children
Be honest about your child's level. A class that is too advanced can cause stress and fatigue; one that is too easy can be demotivating. On a first ski holiday, the main goal is to build confidence and create a positive experience.
For adult beginners
Learning as an adult is perfectly normal. An instructor will help you understand your equipment, adopt the right stance and control your speed. A few lessons can transform your week.
For experienced skiers
A private lesson can also help you polish your technique, discover the best sectors or tackle specific conditions. For off-piste skiing, a professional guide and proper safety equipment are essential.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where exactly is the meeting point?
- How long is the lesson and how many people are in the group?
- Is a lift pass needed from the first lesson?
- Should equipment be collected the day before?
- How is the level assessed?
