Group ski lessons

The instructional ski holiday – SB Ski has its own ski school with a dedicated team of fully qualified, experienced ski instructors. Ski lessons are tailored for adults and children (from aged 5 years) and designed for all ability levels – from complete beginners to seasoned experts.

The instructional ski holiday price includes 5 x 2 hour group lessons (usually taken from Sunday through to Thursday) for guests staying from Saturday to Saturday.

For guests on short breaks:

  • Saturday to Wednesday – lessons are included on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.  If your departure flight allows, it may be possible to accommodate you in a group lesson at an extra cost of 30€ per person, payable in resort.
  • Wednesday to Saturday – lessons are not included but when available, we are happy to organise private lessons, payable in resort.

Ski lessons are the ideal way to build confidence, develop tactical and technical skills and to explore the vast number of pistes. SB Ski groups are carefully and thoughtfully arranged to reflect technical ability and confidence levels, so everyone can ski with guests of similar ability.

Children of 14 years and under will always take their lessons at the same time as at least one of their parents.  On weeks when there are only 1 or 2 children (aged under 15) or adults of the same level in resort, SB Ski offers a private 1 hour lesson for 5 days, replacing the 2 hour group lesson.  These may take place at lunch time.

Want to know what SB ski lessons are like? Immerse yourself in our winter playground – and the sheer enjoyment of skiing on an SB Ski holiday in Megève. View our homepage video.

Megève has a huge 445km of skiing to explore, with a wide variety of interlinked and tree-lined pistes. There’s something for everyone and instructors will ensure groups ski as much of the resort as possible (depending on level).  The ski school is set up around easily accessible and safe meeting points, so friends and families can be quickly reunited at the start and finish of lessons.

The instructional ski holidayLessons times can be subject to change (if required for operational or weather reasons) but are normally scheduled to start at 09.30, 11.40 and 13.40. (For guests on short break holidays, lesson timings will be confirmed on booking as this will vary according to arrival day).  The ski week starts on a Sunday for 5 days and includes a video analysis session – a great way to improve ski technique.

Our fully qualified instructors are selected based on experience and for their ‘people’ and communication skills. Lessons are fun but also equip you with the skills to develop and improve.

Private lessons – skiing or snowboarding

Private lessons are not included in the instructional ski holiday price, but can be arranged at an extra cost (paid in resort). Lessons can be booked during the afternoons, or on a Friday and Saturday, subject to availability. This is a great way to work on specifics, or gain bigger improvements during your stay.

Private lessons can be taken individually, or by small groups of a similar ability; they are also ideal for parents who may want a leisurely afternoon off whilst the children have fun with an instructor.
