	Full day Private lesson
	Let our qualified instructors guide you around the resort, taking you to all the best slopes without having to reach for the piste-map. The day can include techniques for skiing the whole mountain, as well as those important tips hints and reminders throughout the day to keep you skiing at your very best.



	Our instructor can meet you at your chalet/hotel if needed, find a suitable restaurant for lunch, and finish the day’s skiing at a convenient location for you.


	2 - 3 hour Private lesson
	This could be a refresher session to get your skiing legs back and ready for your holiday or a session to master a specific technique such as moguls or off piste. Either way, this option will give you the opportunity to learn all the necessary skills, with plenty of time to practice.




	1 hour Private Lesson
	If your learning style allows you to process a lot of technical information in a short amount of time then this lesson is for you. We can give you the tools and techniques to take away and practice in your own time. This lesson is cost effective and is best taken at lunchtime, when the lifts are quiet, to ensure maximum slope time.
