Group or private lessons?
Group lessons cost less per person and suit beginners who enjoy learning with others. Private lessons move faster, work around your plans and can be shared within a family or group.
Book early for school holidays
February half-term, Christmas, New Year and Easter are the busiest weeks for ski schools. Children's group classes and English-speaking instructors fill first, so book lessons when you book the holiday.
Check the instructor's qualifications
Ask what qualification your instructor holds and whether they are permitted to teach in that country. Many British instructors train through BASI, the British Association of Snowsports Instructors, while national schools train their own.
Frequently asked questions
Do ski instructors speak English?
Most schools in resorts popular with UK skiers offer lessons in English, and British-run schools teach in English as standard. Ask when booking, especially for children's groups.
How many lessons does a beginner need?
Many beginners book group lessons every morning for their first week, which leaves afternoons to practise.
From what age can children take ski lessons?
Most schools run children's classes by age and level. Minimum ages vary by school, so check before booking.
