Private Ski & Snowboard Lessons in Argentière

Beginner: usually 3 mornings to feel safe on green runs by yourself.

Returning skier (haven't skied for years): a single lesson can be enough to unlock progress and rebuild confidence.

Improving intermediate: 2 to 3 half days or 2 full days, ideally with the same instructor.

Book your sessions well in advance: during school holidays we're often fully booked weeks ahead. It's better to plan 2 or 3 days upfront than hope to add a session once you're here.

Group size: 1 to 6 people, all from your own party.

Pricing: 1 to 4 people = same lesson price (yours, alone or shared with your group). 5 or 6 people = +€15 per additional person.

Solo skier: you book a private 1-on-1 lesson, at the same price as up to 4 people. We don't share lessons between strangers.

A friend wants to join: yes, as long as they have the same skill level. If the total stays at 1–4 people, no extra cost. From 5 to 6, add €15/person.

Same skill level: everyone in the group should share roughly the same level for the lesson to work. We can split the time between two levels, but we can't teach beginners and advanced together at once.

One discipline at a time: ski OR snowboard, not both in the same lesson, since the instructor needs to demonstrate as well as explain.

Children can start skiing from 4 years old and snowboarding from 7 years old. Beginners aged 4 to 6 get their own lesson, separate from participants aged 12 and over.

For kids under 7, we recommend a separate lesson from the parents — the pace and teaching approach are very different. Older children can sometimes join their parents' lesson. We'll discuss this with you by email when you book to make sure the setup works before the lesson starts.

Yes, just mention their name when booking ("We'd like Theo again", "We had Pierre last March"). We keep a client history and try to match you with the same instructor whenever possible.

If your instructor is unavailable on your dates, we'll suggest someone with a similar teaching style and brief them on your preferences.

Probably not. Muscle memory comes back faster than you'd think. We typically classify a returning skier as novice or intermediate, depending on what you remember.

Tell us your last comfortable terrain (green / blue / red runs) when booking, and your instructor will calibrate from there. Day 1 is usually a "feel it again" session, and most students are surprised how quickly it comes back.
