Ski With Ease ski school offers gift vouchers – great for Christmas and Birthday gifts. They are designed with a custom area to add the name of the skier(s) and a small message. On payment of the invoice, your PDF voucher will be emailed to you with your ski lesson receipt.
If you have a date in mind, we can pre-book you and supply the gift voucher PDF. This is required for peak-week dates to avoid disappointment, and the date and time of the booking will be displayed on the gift voucher and invoice.
Each gift voucher has a unique code. Simply contact Ski With Ease to book your ski lesson and provide the code, and we will take care of the rest. Please note that without advance notice, we may not be able to book requested times, especially during peak periods. Always book early!
We are private ski lessons only, so you are not tied down to a set starting day (Sunday or Monday) like conventional ski schools. You can book one-off refresher ski lessons, daily ski lessons, or even ski on alternative days – 7 days a week, from December to April. You can plan as few or as many as you require and have a different start time each day if you prefer. Â
Our bookings team will work with you to plan out your lessons each day to suit your needs.Â
We are private one-to-one or friend and family group ski lessons only. With traditional group ski lessons, we find that skiers often become anxious because they don’t know others in the group, think they ski better or worse, or feel they’re holding others up. This anxiety seriously prevents your learning. However, we know that with private one-to-one ski lessons and private group ski lessons made up solely of your friends and family who know each other and are comfortable in their company, learning then becomes more fun, relaxed, and these factors considerably enhance your learning and improvement. Â
Some people prefer to learn in a defined group or ski course, and that works for the people it works for. What we’re interested in is creating lessons just for you, so there’s no need for you to categorise your proficiency or progression. And the personal attention you’re getting and the teaching over and above traditional courses means that you’ll be learning to ski more quickly and become more proficient from fewer ski lessons! You are not tied down to lessons Monday to Friday at a set time. You can alternate your days and times to create lessons personal to your needs.Â
We generally recommend ski lessons from the age of 3-4 years onwards, but as a parent, you’re best placed to know your child’s coordination, responsiveness to instruction, and comfort with being left with other adults. After all, like you, the more fun they have, the quicker they’ll pick it up. And if you’d love to learn with your children, then check out the parents and children ski lessons.Â
At age 3, our ski lessons are typically 1 hour and are offered either one-to-one or as a parent-child lesson. Â
At age 4, we offer a 2-hour ski lesson, and we break up the session with a fun snack break pit stop. It can be one-on-one or as a parent-child ski lesson. Â
Ages 3 and 4, we do not teach as a group or as part of a family group lesson. If you have two young skiers aged 3, for instance, we can split a 2-hour ski lesson into one hour for each child. Speak to our booking team, who will discuss all the options available to suit your young skiers’ needs and energy levels.Â
Our friends and family groups start from age 5. Â

At Ski With Ease, we prioritise the unique needs of young skiers. Our experience has shown that children under five benefit most from personalised, one-on-one attention during their first skiing adventures. This approach not only ensures safety but also helps build their confidence. While we do not offer group lessons for this age group, we provide private lessons at your resort for a more nurturing experience.
We issue ski achievement award badges for children at the end of their course of ski lessons. These awards are based on achievements rather than a graded system. For older children and teens, the award may take the form of some merchandise.
If they are complete beginners, then they do not need to bring poles, at least for the first few days. We do not recommend using poles for young children during their first week, but older kids can start using them later in the week. Please ask your instructor at the resort for further guidance.
Assessing adult ski levels can be challenging, as many individuals tend to either overestimate or underestimate their abilities. By only offering private ski lessons, we allow you to form your own small group with friends and family. This ensures a supportive learning environment without the complications of mismatched skill levels and can also offer great value!
During peak weeks, it can be very busy on the slopes, which sometimes causes delays and confusion. You should aim to arrive a few minutes before your lesson to allow time to find our meeting point and to account for any unexpected delays. Your instructor will begin the lesson at the time indicated on your lesson plan. Please note that they may not arrive at your meeting point before that time, as they could be finishing prior lessons.
Your ski lesson form contains the name and telephone number of your instructor(s). If you are running late, call your instructor’s mobile first. If you are unable to reach them, call the office on 020 3633 2040.
Your instructor will try to help with a solution to start your lesson as soon as possible. If you are not at the meeting point shown on your booking form, after 5 minutes, your instructor or the office will call the mobile number you provided when making your booking.
Please note: lessons are strictly planned at set times, with time allocated between each lesson for instructors to conduct a handover or ski to another meeting point in time for the next lesson. It’s the client’s responsibility to reach meeting points/collect students promptly. It’s at your instructor’s discretion if they add extra time at the end of your lesson.
If you are lost and unable to find your meeting point or are delayed collecting a student, please contact your instructor or call the office at 020 3633 2040.
If the mountain is open, lessons will take place in ALL weather conditions suitable. We will adjust the lessons to suit and include breaks for a warm-up hot chocolate where needed.
If it’s a quiet week during the season, a member of the office team may contact you to discuss the options of moving the lesson to a different day if we have availability in the diary. We cannot guarantee the same time slots or instructor, but we will try to be as flexible as possible. If you choose not to attend your lessons due to rain or snowfall and haven’t spoken to a member of the office team in advance, no refund will be given. It’s at Ski With Ease’s discretion to move lessons or provide refunds, and this must be discussed in advance. Our instructors will be waiting at the meeting point to greet you.
If the resort is experiencing high winds or heavy snowfall, lesson start times may be delayed. We will contact you to adjust your lesson time accordingly.
During high winds and adverse weather conditions, ski lifts may experience delayed start times. We will do our best to begin ski lessons as soon as conditions improve, and our office team will work to adjust start times throughout the day when possible.
The office team will make every effort to contact all clients as soon as updates are available. Please be aware that calling each client during peak weeks may take some time.
If the resort is facing extreme weather conditions and strong winds, it may close for part of the day or for an entire day. If the resort is classified as closed, please contact the Ski With Ease office at 0(20) 3633 2040 for updated information.
We will provide a covering email stating the closure date, which you can submit to your insurance company. Your insurance should cover the costs of your ski lesson cancellation and ski pass. Always ensure your insurance is up to date, and avoid booking ski lessons, ski hire, or ski passes without valid holiday insurance.
If we have availability during off-peak times, Ski With Ease reserves the right to reschedule any lessons that were cancelled due to resort closure.
For updates, you can always contact the Ski With Ease ski school on (0)20 3633 2040.
If you are part of a group booking or have a one-to-one booked and are too ill to ski, please contact the office as soon as possible on 020 3633 2040.
We can develop a solution tailored to meet everyone’s needs. This could include rescheduling the lesson for a different day, having someone else in your party take the lesson instead, or organising paperwork for your insurance if we are unable to reschedule your ski lesson during the very busy peak-week school holidays.
Please note: If you choose not to attend your ski lesson without contacting us in advance or due to overindulgence in the Après Ski, we are unable to refund or reschedule your lesson.
All ski lessons are prepaid in advance. If you want to add someone to the group, that’s not a problem. Just email or call the office, and we will send you an invoice link for the extra skier amount. Please note that your extra skier will need to be included and paid for in advance for their insurance to be valid.

Currently, there is no law in France that mandates wearing a helmet while skiing; however, French authorities and experts strongly recommend it.Â
It is advisable to always wear gloves when skiing. Although it can get hot and you may be tempted to take them off, we require kids to wear gloves during ski lessons. This is important because if they fall, ski edges can be sharp and may cut fingers.
Additionally, please remember to apply and bring sunscreen for ski lessons. As for other forms of protection, such as back protection, that decision is entirely up to you.
Please note that backpacks are not allowed during kids’ lessons. Any water or snacks should be stored in a ski jacket or given to your ski instructor. stored in a ski jacket or given to your ski instructor.
