Our private lessons

We answer all your questions

When should I book my lessons?

As soon as possible, because the number of places on lessons is limited, it's best to book in advance and not wait for the snow to fall.
Group lessons are preferable, especially during the February/March holidays, as there are very few private lessons available during this period.

Group lessons:
Online bookings open at the end of October 2023 for group lessons.

Private lessons :
Book as soon as the offices open for the whole season.

What time should I bring my child to the meeting point?

Please bring your child 10 minutes before the course starts.

What happens if there's little snow?

Please check the snow conditions and skiability on the home page of our website 2 days before your arrival.
We will do our utmost to ensure that our lessons take place in the best possible conditions, even if the resort is only partially open.

Only if the resort is closed due to lack of snow will we offer you either to relocate the lessons to the Lispach resort 15km from Gérardmer (if the Lispach resort is open) if you agree with our Gérardmer instructors, or a credit note or a full refund of the lessons.

What happens at the meeting point for lessons?

Meet your child's instructor in front of the sign indicating the level in which they are registered. The esf signs are easily visible on the snow front of Gérardmer's alpine ski area. Access from the town takes just a few minutes, either with your own car or using one of the shuttles. See timetables

Does a student get a medal at the end of the course?

For group lessons over a week, the student progresses in their group and on the last day, they receive a medal corresponding to their level with their evaluation booklet.

For private lessons and one-off group lessons, the medal is not included in the price of the lesson, but can be purchased from the ESF office on presentation of the booklet signed by the instructor.

Does the ESF lend out equipment?

No, you need to bring the right equipment for your discipline. There are several ski hire outlets close to the start of the pistes.
