Nestling in the 3 Vallées, the world's largest ski area, Méribel offers a privileged setting for discovering the joys of winter sports. The resort attracts winter sports enthusiasts from all over the world, as well as visitors looking to unwind thanks to the typical Savoyard charm of its various districts. While downhill skiing is the most popular discipline, snowboarding offers unique sensations and allows you to explore the slopes in a whole new way. Why not take advantage of your next stay to take some lessons?

Renowned for the quality of its lessons and teaching methods, the ESF Méribel offers a wide choice of courses. Downhill, freestyle or competition skiing, Nordic skiing, ski touring or snowshoeing: children and adults alike can learn a sport from a team of state-qualified instructors.

Using a fun and effective approach, our instructors tailor their snowboard lessons to the level of each student, helping them to achieve their goals. The group lessons, given on a half-day basis, encourage mutual support and enable students to meet other people of the same level. A group energy that encourages performance and contributes to a very friendly atmosphere!

The instructors at our ski and snowboard school take care to respect the level and pace of each student. While group lessons help you to make significant progress after a week of learning and training, private lessons speed up the process. You'll have a dedicated instructor to provide you with personalised support and an approach tailored to your profile and expectations.

Whatever formula you choose, respect for your individual pace is at the heart of the ESF's teaching methods. Our aim is to free you from any apprehensions you may have and to help you become more independent on the slopes. There's no doubt that you'll be able to master the basics of snowboarding after just a few days of lessons!
