Ski Schools & lessons in the Grand Massif

Ski Schools & lessons in the Grand Massif

All Ski and Snowboarding Schools are located on the sunny plateau at the top of the Samoens gondola at Samoens 1600m, so are just a quick 8 min ride from the village itself. Between the three schools they cover all abilities from first time skiers up to specialist expert skiing clinics so you are guaranteed to find something for you.

Guests can choose to learn either in a group environment with a Ski School, or book private lessons in smaller groups where you will have your own personal instructor. All Ski Schools have fluent English speaking instructors too.

There are several restaurants over-looking the beginner’s area for parents to watch their children or just to act as a meeting-point, as well as an adjoining sledging area so families can vary the entertainment.

Bookings must be made with the Ski Schools directly but don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like some advice. All Ski Schools get booked up quickly at peak periods so we recommend booking early to ensure you get the lessons that you want.
