Top ski schoolsSome first time skiers prefer diving headfirst in to the snow and discovering the joys of skiing by themselves, but for everyone else there are skiing schools where professionals will aid you in developing your skills or
showing you the basics.
Zermatt of Switzerland offers a unique approach to skiing lessons. For beginners there are the basic introductory lessons that will get them to grips with the slopes. However Zermatt also offers intermiate training for those who may have been skiing before but have forgotten or want to learn how to be more advanced. The trainers are qualified to teach not only the basics, but also supply more difficult techniques for those skiers who consider themselves more experienced. Their groups are designed to improve ability and boost the confidence of first time skiers without taking up their whole holiday. Beginners should look at the starter pack for the most capable introduction, and intermediates should look at the one-day technical refresher or the four morning technical sessions on offer.
Although considered a small resort, Ste Foy Tarentaise in France has a big reputation for high quality accommodation, relaxing atmosphere and empty slopes, to ensure a holiday to remember. The ski area itself is small, however for a beginner this will not make a difference because it will give them a chance to prepare for bigger, more advanced slopes at their own pace. If inexperienced skiers come with the more advanced then it may be slightly disappointing for those who want to take on the more difficult slopes because of the resorts small area, however for a beginner it is ideal.
