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 :
Booking as soon as the offices open for the whole season except for the February holidays.
Private lessons for the February holidays can be booked from 29 January 2024 by telephone (maximum 1 hour of lessons per day).
What time should I bring my child to the meeting point?
Please bring your child with the appropriate ski pass and equipment 10 minutes before the start of the lesson.
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 the option of relocating your lessons to La Bresse, 15km from Gérardmer (if La Bresse is open), if you agree with our Gérardmer instructors, or else a credit note or a full refund of your lessons.
What happens at the meeting point for lessons?
Meet your child's instructor in front of the sign indicating the level in which he or she is 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
Do I need a helmet for my child?
Helmets are highly recommended for Alpine / downhill skiing and compulsory for snowboarding.
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.
