    Beginners' package

    We have designed a special beginners' package tailored to make your first experience on the slopes memorable, fun and great value. We have hunted down some especially good deals for beginners ensuring you get the best value introduction to the skiing or boarding you will ever find. Whether it’s skiing or snowboarding that tickles your fancy, the package includes everything you need to start sliding.

    You’ll get bronze ski, boot and pole hire so that you’re well equipped to get going. We’ve tracked down the best possible hire prices to make sure that beginners aren’t investing in loads of gear that more experienced trippers will bring themselves.

    The package also includes three morning lessons of group tuition for complete beginners; more than enough to get you coasting down the piste in style. All lessons are with the ESF – the most renowned ski school in all of France – and class sizes will be no more than 10. The ESF instructors have been trained rigorously to teach beginners, so if you need help at first they’re the best in the business. The lessons will give you the skills you need to start exploring the resort, and there are plenty of easier slopes to keep you busy while you’re finding your feet.

    When you book there is also the option to hire ski trousers and a ski jacket. But you may well find you know someone you can borrow some off for free. Or you may have some very warm waterproof clothes already that will do the trick. Its worth getting this right though – there is nothing worse than cold limbs! See the kit list to get an idea of what you'll need.
