While a first experience of skiing can help you get to grips with the snow and master the art of gliding, it is not compulsory to learn to snowboard. This discipline, which consists of hurtling down the slopes with both feet fixed on a board, requires a great deal of skill and balance. Snowboarding gives you access to magnificent spots all over the 3 Vallées area, from Méribel to Courchevel and Val Thorens.

Once you've learnt the basics, snowboarding promises unique sensations that are totally different from those you get from skiing. Many snowboarders can testify that they really do feel like they're floating on clouds! The feeling of freedom is also increased tenfold, especially during off-piste sessions.

Getting started in snowboarding may seem more complex than skiing, but you'll progress more quickly. At esf Méribel you can learn to snowboard, but you can also perfect your technique thanks to lessons given by a team of state-qualified instructors. From discovery level to snowboard level 3, our ski and winter sports school will help you achieve your objectives in one of the most popular disciplines.

In our group lessons, you'll benefit from high-quality teaching with other students of the same level as you, to ensure a consistent approach to learning. Children (aged 8 and over) and adults alike are welcome in classes adapted to their abilities, combining theory and practice. Would you like even more personalised support and faster progress?
