Montchavin Ski School - ESF

If you are staying with us in Montchavin in one of our Catered Ski Chalets, we recommend booking lessons with the Montchavin Ski School esf and here they share their 5 TOP TIPS for enjoying your ski holiday in France.

1) Skiing is a mountain adventure you will never forget. Embrace the cold and ensure you buy or borrow suitable ski clothing pre-holiday.

2) A skiing holiday is not just about sliding down a mountain. Make the most of the resort. Go tobogganing, shopping, swimming or other activities while you are there. 

3) Join in the Après Ski. Take time to relax in a bar or restaurant and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the 'after skiing' conversations and chat.  

4) Get up early and catch the best conditions. Early risers normally get to ski on the freshly piste'd runs. The slopes can be busy so get up and ski early. 

5) BOOK LESSONS WITH ESF!
