Group Ski Lessons

The team also provides a full range of courses for those who wish to become instructors or simply challenge their own development. The trainers and coaches are of the highest standard, each holding the highest possible ski instructor qualification in their own country. They work with instructors from all over Europe from BASI Level 1 through to the world's highest ski qualification, BASI 4 ISTD. Over the years, the European Ski School has helped many aspiring ski and snowboard instructors to fulfil their dreams – several of whom are now teaching in the school.

Several meeting points are available for lessons at different levels:

• In the village there are meeting points at the Viking beginner area and next to the Snow Garden, both with quick access to the main ski lifts.
• On the mountain the meeting point is by the blue ski school hut on Les Cretes (handy for the Patache restaurant and with easy access to all grades of piste). 

• "Will highly recommend them and hopefully they are in every resort as they are really cool and friendly. Carlos was pushy in a good way that he made me do turns until I get it right. My children enjoyed their skiing lessons as well. There was a big handing of medals and books telling you what you have achieved and what to work on for the next skiing holiday." - Trip Advisor
• "This was the best ski school yet! as I was old enough to go into the adults group and it was a thrill, I had the best group with the best people and the best teacher! Luca was the best teacher I had, he gave really good tips on my short turns and I also learned carving that I am not really used to. He always smiled and spoke really good English and I asked him about how to become a ski instructor. On the last day we had Stefano(who spelt my name wrong, but it's ok)who was really awesome as well and really took detail in my skiing. My group Luca and Stefano were the best people ever!(PS: Thanks Luca for buying me a hot chocolate, I had a great time!)" - Trip Advisor
• "Great time at Les Deux Alpes! My daughters had a fab time and thoroughly enjoyed their skiing lessons! A special thank you to Simon, Giorgia, Luca, Niccolò and Stefano...but everyone at the European Ski School was great...a BIG THANK YOU!" - Trip Advisor
• "Excellent ski school and instructor, This is the second time I have booked with ESS and have not been disappointed. Alessandro led the group expertly and made sure to provide regular individual feedback especially in the video feedback session. He made the effort to get to know everyone in the group and achieved a good balance between technique and keeping us skiing at pace. The instructors facilitated movement between groups where necessary to ensure we were all at a similar level from the outset. Our two young children thoroughly enjoyed their first week and were each presented with a medal at the end. Great week and learnt much." - Trip Advisor

As you enter the resort, follow the main high street (Avenue de la Muzelle) in the Venosc direction. After at least 1 km you will come to a roundabout displaying international flags, at this point you will see the office on your left hand side opposite the “Secret“ bar and across from the “Polar bear” pub.

• Nearest bus stop, No. 4
• Opposite Hotel Le Cret & “Secret” Bar
• Across from the “Polar bear” pub

The office is open daily from 08:30 - 12:30 and from 16:00 - 19:00. At busy times (high season and transfer days) the office is open non-stop from 08:30 - 19:00.

The school teaches children from four years upwards in group and private lessons. Children under six are taught in the snow garden – a safe enclosed area with its own little ski lift – until they are ready to venture onto the main nursery slopes.

Extra staff are on hand at the end of lessons to look after children if parents are late for any reason and there is an identity card system in place. All instructors have produced a criminal records background check from their country of residence or origin.
