Ski lessons for all levels and ages

You can choose from different types of ski courses:

Ideal for learning to ski or snowboard in a group with other skiers of the same level, these lessons are for children aged 6 and above and are divided by age and level.

How do you know your skiing level?

Before signing up for a course or choosing a class, it is important to know your skiing level to get the most out of it:

• Beginner

Either you have never been on skis before or you have done so very few times and still do not feel confident. You need to learn from scratch: how to put on your equipment, slide, brake, turn with control or even use a chairlift for the first time. You still don't feel completely stable on the snow and you prefer not to leave flat areas or green slopes. If this is the case, you will benefit greatly from specific classes for beginners, designed to help you gain confidence from day one.

• Intermediate

If you are already fairly comfortable on green and blue slopes and you can stop and turn without difficulty, you are probably at an intermediate level. You no longer need constant help and enjoy skiing downhill with ease, although there are still technical aspects to improve. At this stage, the aim is to refine your technique so that you can tackle more demanding slopes, such as red ones. It is also a stage at which many skiers begin to take an interest in new disciplines, such as freeriding or freestyle, in search of different sensations and a little more excitement on the snow.

• Advanced

If you ski confidently on all types of slopes, including black ones, make precise turns and adapt easily to different types of snow and ground, you are at the advanced level. At this point, you are looking to perfect your technique, improve on the details and continue to progress, whether out of pure passion for the sport or with more technical or competitive goals in mind.
