We use a successful combination of ski schools, matched to the ability and ambitions of our guests.

For beginners and intermediates we recommend the ESF (Ecole de Ski Francais) Montriond. There skiers benefit from the local knowledge, time and experience of the instructors. From September 2004 you can book online with ESF (booking ahead is highly recommended during peak periods).

The ESF at Montriond is a small efficient school made up of locals who speak excellent English. Their local knowledge for 'Off Piste' is fantastic, they can arrange 2hr - 1/2 day trips with a helicopter pick-up.

Advanced skiers and budding extremists can benefit from the technical input of the AASS, the Avoriaz Alpine Ski school.

BASS also runs specialist classes including an 'Off Piste Clinic' and 'Mogul Clinic' certain weeks of the year.

Don't forget to mention Challenge Activ when booking lessons!
