There is an excellent choice of ski schools in Chamonix offering both group and private lessons for adults and children. We work with, and are happy to book lessons with Evolution 2 and ESF for you. Each offer different group size and lesson times, to suit varying client demands.

Why have a lesson?
We strongly recommend having some lessons no matter what your level.
Beginners should never be taught by friends as they generally only pick up bad habits and everyone gets frustrated. Have a lesson and everyone has a holiday!
With improvements in equipment over the last few years skiing & boarding have definitely become easier however doing the right things at the right time is important and all intermediates will need some direction to get in to the advanced category.
Techniques change and the advanced/expert can be quickly left behind without some annual guidance. A private lesson can steer you in the right direction and you get to jump lift lines
