Ski School 

Ski school is an important part of most people's skiing holiday whether they are beginners or just wish to improve style and technique. All our resorts have extensive ski school facilities. The Ecole de Ski Français (ESF) is by far the largest and longest established. We can pre-book ski school at many resorts and we would particularly recommend that you do so especially at peak times in order to avoid possible disappointment. All the ski schools have English-speaking instructors.

Kindergarten 

There are kindergarten facilities in each of the resorts featured. Resort kindergartens are independently operated and we have not inspected these facilities and are unable to pre-book or guarantee that the level of care provided will meet your requirements. Standards and services do however have to comply with local regulations. We can provide you with contact details of most kindergarten facilities in each resort.
