Adaptive skiing with the official French ski school

Location
Meribel

Skiing is for everyone and everyone should be able to enjoy the mountains. The official French ski school offer adaptive lessons with specialist instructors for a variety of disabilities.

Since its founding in 1945 by a group of local instructors, this ski school has grown to become one of the largest in France. All 450 instructors are trained professionals from the National School of Skiing and Alpinism in Chamonix. With extensive knowledge of the Meribel and Three Valleys ski area, they are passionate about sharing their love of skiing and the mountains with you. Whatever your age, technical level, or goals, lessons with them promise a fun and enjoyable experience.

The ski school continually invests in instructor training and new equipment to ensure each lesson is tailored to your needs. This winter, options include:

  • standing skiers: uniski or biski
  • seated skiing: Nordic armchair and sledge
  • guidance for visually impaired skiers
