Private ski coaching

Small ski school offering private lessons for groups of all ages

Where?: Courchevel 1850
Featured in: Private Ski Lessons

This ski school provides excellent private tuition for "private" groups which can be composed of your children, friends or your whole family.

The exact pricing depends on the size of your group (eight people maximum for regular ski lessons or up to six for off-piste) and the dates you'll be skiing.

What's the cherry on the cake? All FT Outdoors clients benefit from lift priority which means a lot more skiing without any waiting around.

FT Outdoors offer lessons for all levels and all ages, whether you are a complete beginner or a confident skier with a few tricks up your sleeve. Choose the time of day that suits you best and your personal coach will build your confidence, help improve your technique, and take you to the best slopes for your level and to find the nicest snow.

You don't have to worry about any communication barriers, FT Outdoors have some British instructors and the others speak good English as well as instructors who speak Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German. You won't be waiting around in lift queues either, clients have the fantastic advantage of lift line priority.

When teaching children, their aim is to make skiing as fun as possible, pretty much the same as playing a game. They help kids understand that like even the simplest games there are always rules that must be respected, especially when their safety depends on it!

Adults will be able to build their confidence much quicker than in group lessons as the lesson is planned and run exactly to meet their needs and level. They will help you improve your technique, making skiing easier and more enjoyable. Full day lessons are highly recommended to see a real difference in your ability.
