Ski lessons in Chatel

 

Whether you are learning to ski for the first time or you are an experienced skier with many mogul fields under your belt it is always useful to have a few pointers from a pro.

Here is a list of the best ski schools in Chatel.

British Alpine Ski School

BASS is the British ski school based in Chatel.  They are our preferred choice for group lessons as they have small group sizes and very good British instructors.

Using the BASI coaching system, their teaching style is excellent for all abilities and age groups.

The lessons are two hours long starting and finishing in Pre La Joux, and the cost is £200 for 5 mornings.

Ecole de ski Francais

ESF is the largest ski school in Chatel, with an office in the high street next to the pharmacy.

This is the French ski school and they can cater for all abilities in both skiing and snowboarding.  Most instructors speak English and are a good standard however we find the lessons are predominately in French and they have large group sizes.

On the plus side they are the only ski school to offer group lessons from Super Chatel.

Prices start from €145 for 5 mornings.

Ecole de ski International

The International ski school is also based at Pre La Joux.  They have a maximum of 10 pupils per class and a good selection of English speaking instructors.

Prices start from €160

To get the most from your time on the slopes we highly recommend private ski lessons, as one to one tuition is the best way to perfect your turns and technique.  Lessons are usually two hours long and cost €65 an hour plus €5 per additional person.

Blue Chilli

Is a small independent ski school specialising in private lessons.  Their instructors are arguably the best in the area, and have the ability to transform your skiing in a two hour window.  So, whether you are looking to improve your powder turns or snowplough these are the guys to call.

Freelance Instructors

There are several freelance ski instructors who have been based in the area for many years and offer excellent private instruction.  Your chalet operator will probably have their contact details.

At Nine and Tenne we provide a concierge service to help organise all the key elements of your holiday.  If you are staying with us on a catered or self-catered ski holiday we will be able to book all your ski lesson requirements.  Please feel free to contact us if you need any advice on which ski schools to use in Chatel.

Just another boring 5 star review for the team at Nine and Tenne. They’d probably love some constructive criticism but honestly there’s nothing to criticise! Paddy and Andy were warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Andy was like a human internet with bookings for taxis and meals within seconds. So impressive. We were a large group, but everyone felt well looked after throughout our stay. The Chalet was beautiful, the fridge perfectly stocked, the cooked meals and chef night were excellent. The ski hire door delivery was super helpful, and having a taxi to the slopes every day was just an added bonus that made things so much easier! This was a “treat” holiday for our whole family, but I hope one day we can visit another Nine and Tenne chalet in Chatel (which is also idyllic!). Normally I am happy to be back in Devon after holidays, but this one was just too good! I wanted to be back in Chatel!! Take me back!!

Absolutely fantastic stay! Luxury chalet with beautiful interiors, just a short distance to the pistes and village centre. The concierge service was seamless and incredibly helpful throughout. Our host was welcoming, attentive, and made everything effortless. Highly recommend! ❄️

The hosting was over and above, thank you! Busy slopes but lunch and dinner all sorted at a great selection of places. The recently refurbished chalet was spacious and right by the bus stop (with live tracker). We actually drove to the free parking by the lift each morning to enjoy the massive Portes du Soleil ski area. Chatel was really characterful, still with a French feel. We will be back!

We had a more than lovely stay in Chalet Alchimie by Nine&Tenne in Chatel! The chalet looked brand-new, was ideally situated and had some beautiful mountain views. The communication with Paddy and Andy before and during our stay was very pleasant and useful. We felt very welcome in Chatel! Thanks!

With our family of 10, we had a very nice stay in this beautiful chalet with a view. The swimming pool was definitely a big plus, the kids loved it. The owner, Paddy was very friendly and helpful and thanks to Andy for his assistance during the week; not in the least for booking some nice local restaurants. We hope to come back next year to one of the chalets of Nine&Tenne
