Ski Schools & Private Instructors
There are several English instructors in Megeve and some very good English speaking French instructors.
For the Sylvana/Clochettes book private lessons departing from Rochebrune and group (ESF English group lessons) or private lessons from the Caboche (Caboche is where the Unthank Ski Club departs from). For all other chalets, lessons departing from the Caboche are easiest.
Note: it is best to call individual instructors at times when they are unlikely to be teaching.
We recommend booking lessons in advance, especially for the peak periods of Half Term, New Year, and Easter.
