Do I have to book for lessons?

Generally, pre-booking is required for all lessons. “Turn up and learn” may sometimes be available, but we strongly recommend that you book all lessons in advance to avoid disappointment.

Lessons are normally available to book via the internet. If you wish to make any enquiries about private lessons, or if you cannot see the type of lessons you require on the date you want, then please phone our Head Office on 08700 344437.

TODDLER SKI & SNOW PLAY SESSIONS
For youngsters aged 4 to 7 who might prefer to have a ski lesson accompanied by a parent we offer the Toddlers Ski and Snow Play session. The children will get the chance to familiarise themselves with boots and skis and to learn the basics of skiing whilst assisted by a parent who will not be wearing skis. The price of the Toddler Ski and Snow Play lesson includes access to the snow slope for parent and child for the duration of the lesson, but does not give access to the snow slope or snow play areas before or after the lesson.
