Learn to Downhill at Valmeinier Ski Resort

For beginners, we suggest booking one or a series of lessons in advance. While friends or family may offer to teach you, they really want to be hitting the bigger slopes themselves. Get a lesson or two first and then ski together. The instruction program at Valmeinier resort is part of a well-regulated French school that can build a solid foundation for your skills. Some travelers make it a habit to schedule an individual or group training every time they hit the slopes.

Practicing your newfound technique couldn't be easier, with nearly half of the runs at Valmeinier suitable for novices. The nursery slopes are right outside your resort lodgings when you select one of our self-catering accommodations at Valmeinier 1800. Oversized apartments sleep up to seven people.

Let us get you started in the sport that can bring a lifetime of pleasure. We'll pre-book lessons for you in conjunction with your room reservations, lift passes and equipment for adults or children. We also arrange ferry crossings, car hire and overnight hotels en route to the mountain. SkiFrance4Less is your introduction to snow sports.
