I can’t recommend ski technique school in Megeve enough !! We go skiing every year with a group of 9 family members each at different levels of ski abilities, usually we book the national ski schools and we found that booking with ski technique a private school in Megeve gave us much more flexibility and understanding.. I was lucky enough to find Glen on line and booked him for myself an intermediate skier and a few of my family members at beginners level, he was amazing and helped us to improve beyond our levels.. his partner Jarrod also spent most of the week with 4 of our kids and I was astonished at his patience and support.. the kids really enjoyed skiing with jarrod and he kept them busy all day for the 5 days we were in Megeve!! Glen was constantly in communication with me for a week before we arrived and advised me of all the great things to do in Megeve and where the best places to rent skis and eat were.. he helped with the bookings as well and went beyond a typical ski school instructor.. I will definitely be booking with ski technique again next time we are in megeve!!

Excellent ski school for kids beginners (6-11 yo) our 8 year old was a Wizard at skiing snowplough after first day and by end of the week was Gobbling up Green runs and Bombing down Blues. The team of Huw and Niall were excellent and there was a perfect balance between fun and learning - and of course plenty of pit stops for chocolate Chaud! The group of 5 kids named themselves Team Dog by 3rd day as they all had Wolf / Dog helmet covers and looked super cute. I highly recommend these guys for kids - just look at the levels of ability for kids ski schools (White Wizards to Red Rippers to Black Bandits) and you’ll see these guys understand how to appeal to kids. My boy will be confident enough next time to join the Blue Bombers! Thanks all at Snowlimits

I got in touch with Firstax about ski lessons prior to the holiday. After emailing with Luca and taking his advice, we decided, that rather than joining a group session package we’d book one instructor for a two hour session for the 6 days of our holiday. This was slightly more expensive than joining a group but l feel it benefited us more. Our Ski instructor “Andrea,” was extremely patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. We benefited, immensely, from the lessons and by the end of the week, we had become more confidently in our own skiing ability because of “Andreas” expertise. These guys know what they are doing and extremely passionate their business.

This was our third year of lessons with the brilliant Snocool team. Every year our children have made fantastic progress and had fun doing it. Groups are small and they are willing to flex through the week so that the kids are in the most appropriate group for their progression. We love seeing the children grow in confidence both on and off their skis through these lessons. We will be back next year and wouldn’t use anyone else-thank you Misha and your team!

Soierie vivante invites you to discover lyon's 2 very last remaining weaving workshops from the 19th century. The association organises guided visits with no booking needed. The "bistanclaque pan" (as it's known in the trade) of the looms makes this noisy visit one you won't be able to forget!
