by ESF Alpe d'Huez featured in Private ski lessons

This ski school is part of the prestigious Ecole du Ski Français. With schools throughout France in all major resorts, they are one of the best known and well-trusted ski schools in the Alps.

Private lessons are a great way to improve skills that are maybe a little rusty or to gain confidence on steep slopes and off-piste. You can book a one-on-one session or learn as a couple or small group. Sessions are from 1-2 hours at various times of the day through to a full day's instruction. Availability and times vary depending on the school holidays.

All instructors are fully qualified and experienced in teaching a number of different techniques to adults and children. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced skier or snowboarder, they can help you develop your technique and build your confidence at a your own pace.

This ski school also has specially trained instructors who can teach handiskiing, with a full range of specialist equipment. The cost of hiring the equipment is included in the price of the lesson.

Other activities include snowshoeing, kite skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and off-piste lessons, which offer great alternatives to the usual skiing and snowboarding lessons.

Where to meet

The school have two different meeting points:

Les Grandes Rousses by the piste roundabout
Les Bergers by the commercial centre

Child policy

This ski school starts teaching children from 2.5 years. All their children's courses are age and ability specific, with lessons and gentle games starting in the snow garden from 2.5 to 5 year olds.

Older children will start out on the nursery slopes and will progress to more advanced classes for children up to 12 years. As your child improves they will be put through 'stages' and awarded badges to mark their progress. Advanced skiers can take race-training lessons to learn how to ski safely at speed.

Teenagers will love taking part in snowpark sessions, where they will learn to navigate jumps and obstacles with confidence and style.
