Ski and Board Lessons
Everyone can benefit from ski or board lessons, they’re not just for the beginners! Our five half-day programme of beginner to expert lessons enables you to have one day of “free-skiing” to practice what you’ve learned. It’s a trusted formula that we’ve been using for the last 24 years; and one that we’ve found to have made the most profound improvements to your skiing and boarding, and has yielded the most positive feedback.

- Pre-book your lessons and don’t leave it too late

The Schools We Use
Our ski and board schools are tried and tested. We have carefully selected them to ensure they provide a great service for you, and that they use English-speaking instructors with a passion for their sport and the patience to deal with your learning ability.
Our preferred schools provide a full range of lessons to cater for all abilities: from young children and tentative adults to junior racers and powder seekers. So whether you’re looking to slide a turn for the first time or perfect your carving – we’ve got you covered!
Booking and Availability
We’re here to help every step of the way but the availability of lessons (especially in peak periods) can become limited. It always makes sense to pre-book directly with our suppliers as soon as possible.
Here is a list of our preferred suppliers for you to contact and book your ski or board lessons. If you have any queries then please contact our sales team and we will do our best to help.

Children & Skiing
We believe that the quality of ski school for your children should not be compromised. Learning to ski should be fun all the way; and it’s so very important to get it right. After all, we do not want to put them off as they take their first ‘tentative’ steps of their skiing careers. Our hand-picked ski schools are specially chosen for their friendly outlook and excellent, English speaking instructors and we’ve used them for years, so we know what to expect.
Children from the age of 4 can learn to ski and younger children (under 4) can get a taste of the snow and sliding around on skis by using the free ‘magic carpet’ ski lifts, available in all resorts; or the specially made ski gardens and snow crèches run by the ESF (Ecole du Ski Francais).
Our ‘On the Snow’ Service
A service run by our ski hosts to make your time on the snow easier, but is reserved for guests who book their Extras through us. Our ‘On the Snow’ service will help you get started in resort and help with any niggles with passes or equipment as they arise.
Alpine Elements Ski hosts and reps will be on hand from the moment you arrive to answer any questions you may have. They will deliver pre-booked lift passes straight to you and fast-track you (where we can) through the ski hire shops so you can get on the mountain faster and start practicing those slide turns!
Our reps will also help with any equipment changes and lift pass problems and assist you with your ski and board lessons when using our ‘preferred’ supplier with whom we have a great relationship..
