Every year, the Méribel ski school welcomes many visitors from all walks of life looking for an introduction to skiing or snowboarding, but it's also the place to be for future champions. From a very young age, those with a passion for skiing and snowboarding can come and test their limits with a range of lessons and courses perfectly suited to their needs.

It's an opportunity to easily reach your goals and win your first medals, thanks to the support of our expert instructors, some of whom have also been involved in competitions themselves!

ESF Méribel, the school for champions!

Léonie Carroz, Thomas Luxcey, Yoann Rostolan or Philippe Lau, whether they are still performing in Telemark, have shone at the Alp'in Deaf World Ski Championships or will soon be taking part in the Junior World Championships, there is no shortage of talent in Méribel.

At the heart of the emblematic Alpine resort, many passionate instructors are much more than just teachers. They are true ambassadors for the resort and for France, and over the seasons they have demonstrated their full potential at various international events and competitions.

With ESF Méribel, you can be sure of expert guidance, where technical know-how meets a passion for skiing and snowboarding. Our highly motivated instructors will be delighted to help you reach new heights!

Courses specially dedicated to competition

Once you've won the Étoile d'Or, it's not unusual to want to take your board sports to the next level. Children aged 8 and over and teenagers aged 13 and over will have the opportunity to optimise their technique and challenge the clock with our competition courses.

During the school holidays, esf instructors accompany young, experienced skiers with lessons specially designed for them. They'll be able to hone their skills on skis, but also develop their competitiveness by competing against other students of the same level.

Whether they opt for 5 or 6 lessons, each session includes a number of tests. Flèche, Flèche nocturnes or Chamois, these races are the perfect opportunity to sample the pleasures of competition and take on new challenges!

Come and excel this winter in the resort of Méribel

To help competitors of all levels achieve their objectives, the competition courses at Méribel are divided into several categories:

Competition Camp: An introductory course reserved for students with the Étoile d'Or, including 2 tests;
Slalom Camp: An advanced course for those with the Bronze Arrow and above, including 5 tests;
Elite Course: A course dedicated to intensive training for Flèche d'Or level skiers, including 5 tests.

Our esf instructors will give you the best possible guidance to help you progress rapidly and enable you to express your talent to the full in local and national competitions.
