Telemark ski lessons

Private telemark lessons for all levels

Location
Meribel

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 become one of the largest in France. All 450 instructors are trained professionals from the National School of Skiing and Alpinism in Chamonix. They have extensive knowledge of the Meribel and Three Valleys ski area and are passionate about sharing their love of skiing and the mountains with you. Whatever your age, skill level, or goals, lessons with them promise a fun and enjoyable experience.

Telemark skiing is a physically demanding discipline, but once mastered, it offers one of the most rewarding experiences on the slopes. The technique uses a special binding that fixes the ski at the toe while leaving the heel free.

You can book full- or half-day lessons for groups of up to six people at the same level. Lessons are available in several languages, including English and French.
