We appreciate that beginners may find the first days on the mountain a little bewildering; don’t worry we’ve all been there. We will do all we can to smooth your journey into skiing or snowboarding. The best way to become a confident skier or snowboarder is to have tuition from a qualified instructor. We recommend that guests wishing to have lessons book in advance.
Once you’ve grasped the basics, your instructors or chalet hosts will be happy to direct you to the best confidence-building slopes for practicing and improving your new found skills. Here are some options available to you for ski and snowboard tuition in Tignes.
ESF Ski & Snowboard Schools

The ESF in Tignes has a great reputation, with lots of highly qualified French instructors who speak good English. The instructors have years of experience and superb knowledge of the Espace Killy to help you to get the best from your lessons. At the ESF ski school meeting points in both Tignes Les Brevieres and Tignes Le Lac there is a free beginner ski lift which serves the beginner slopes, meaning absolute beginners need not purchase a ski pass until later in their holiday.
A British run ski school with lessons starting in Tignes Le Lac.
New Generation Tignes ski school is run by Anthony and Tess – both highly qualified instructors. They have lived and worked in Tignes for a number of years so they have an abundance of local knowledge – both on and off-piste.
We would highly recommend Anthony and Tess! For winter 2011/12
New Generation Tignes will be offering small morning groups, technical clinics and private lessons. In peak periods they will run the main children’s group lessons. For intermediate and advanced skiers they offer ‘Skill Sessions’ and ‘Performance Courses’. Visit their website for further details and to book lessons.
