LESSONS

group ski lessons For several years we have worked with handpicked local instructors to offer in-house ski and snowboard lessons. We will continue to offer small group lessons with a maximum of 6 students exclusively for our Skiweekender and Ski Midweeker guests this year too. Join our English speaking instructor, for a series of 3 or 4 lessons designed for beginners, improvers and upper-improvers. We can also arrange afternoon private lessons for more advanced skiers or a longer series of lessons for our weeklong guests.

LESSON STRUCTURE

Instruction is on a daily basis and consists of four 2-hour lessons for Ski Weekenders and three 2-hour lessons for Ski Midweekers. With a 2-hour daily lesson you will soon see results and improvements - all at great value.

For Ski Weekenders – a course of 4 x 2hr lessons costs 110 euros

For Ski Midweekers – a course of 3 x 2hr lessons costs 90 euros

Generally beginners will have the first slot of the day, followed by improvers, upper improvers and then private lessons in the afternoon. This can change however if snow conditions require (for instance icy early mornings aren’t the best for beginners!) or due to overall lesson demand.

* Please note that for the group lessons we do require a minimum number of participants.

LESSONS AVAILABLE

Please give us a clear indication of your ability when booking so that we can group you with other students of a similar ability. We can only guarantee lessons if they are booked in advance as often our groups fill up very quickly - particularly during February and other busy holiday times.

INTERMEDIATES / ADVANCED
We recommend private lessons for this level of skier to enable them to benefit from a more individual approach for technique pointers and more specific details which don't apply to a whole group.

SNOWBOARDING
The same levels (beginner, improver, upper-improver, intermediate/advanced) can be used for snowboarding lessons too but due to lower numbers of snowboarders requesting lessons than skiers, we can't always reach the minimum numbers required to run a group lesson. If you would like snowboarding lessons please call or email us to discuss options.

PRIVATE LESSONS

For those looking for more particular advanced techniques or private tuition at any level. This lesson is available for exclusive individual instruction during the afternoon sessions.

Private lessons are priced from 75 euros for 2 hours based on one or two people in the lesson. For the 3rd or subsequent person in the lesson please add 10 euros per person.

Please note that during February peak season there is only limited availability for private lessons and prices are slightly higher, starting at 85 euros for 1 or 2 people for a 2 hour course. Please let us know in advance of your ski holiday if you would like lessons during this period as they often get booked up a long way ahead.
