Guides & Tours

Learn one of the oldest and most elegant forms of skiing with the French ski school this winter.

Since its creation in 1945 by a group of instructors from the valley, this ski school has grown to be one of the largest in France. All 450 instructors are professionals, trained at the National School of Skiing and Alpinism in Chamonix. Their instructors have extensive knowledge of the Meribel and Three Valleys ski area and are excited to share their passion for skiing and the mountains with you. Whatever your technical level, age or aims, skiing with them is sure to be a fun and enjoyable experience.

Telemark skiing is a physical discipline, but once you learn how to do it it's one of the best feelings there is. The technique involves being fixed to the ski at the toe but free at the heel using a special binding.

You're able to book a full or half day lesson for a group of up to 6 people with the same level. Lessons are available in several languages, including English and French.
