Group Ski Lessons in Flaine, Les Carroz, Samoens, Morillon

Junior

Duration: 3hrs (from 3 – 5 days)

Our junior group ski lessons are structured in the school holidays. They run for 3hrs across 5 days with increased availability according to demand between 3 and 5 days. Don’t worry if you don’t see a group lesson when you want or need one. Let us know over the phone and we will look into adding an additional group. Our juniors need to be 6 years old to join general group lessons. If any of your group are under 6 please contact us before you book to discuss possible options.

Junior group lessons have 2 levels

Blue Group: Junior skiers will have experienced blue runs but need more development on them. They generally ski with a plough heading into a turn, followed by parallel skis across the traverse of the mountain. Juniors will have usually skied with Freedom Snowsports before, or other international ski schools. These junior skiers may have earned our 3 to 5 star awards already. The French ski school equivalent would be ‘Flocon’ To 1 star. Having said that, awards are not necessary to join our groups. Provided skiers are comfortable on a blue run we will focus on improving towards parallel turns.

Red Group: Junior skiers in our red groups are typically regular skiers with Freedom Snowsports. They are comfortable on the whole mountain and are consistently using parallel turns. It may be that they have already achieved our 6 to 8 star ski awards. The French ski school equivalent would be 2 – 3 star. Awards aren’t needed though. As long as your junior skier is consistent in parallel we focus on developing a variety of turns, both carved & skidded turns.

Academy

Duration: 3hrs (from 3 – 5 days)

For those who have progressed through our junior group sessions we offer our Academy classes. Junior skiers may have achieved our highest ski awards of 8 or 9 star, or French ski awards of Bronze or Gold. Once in the Academy, our instructors will apply more advanced and specialized skills to develop the more diverse aspects of our sport. This knowledge will allow skiers to travel further, safer and over more varied terrain both on and off piste. The main skill areas covered in addition to piste performance, steeps, off piste, bumps and freestyle.

During the Academy we develop full mountain awareness. We teach new safety procedures and the use of mountain safety equipment. All of which is essential knowledge for modern skiing. Teaching the next generation how to respect the mountain environment is vital for high level skiing.
Due to the more advanced nature of the sessions, Academy juniors must have attended our junior red group.

Adults

Duration: 2-3hrs (from 1 – 3 days)

Our adult group lessons are structured in two ways. Advanced skills, and Mixed Intermediate Groups. Our mixed ski coaching groups refer to mixed abilities. Our instructors and coaches work inclusively to giving ranges of difficulty level within the skills being developed. As long as you can safely move around all pistes then you’ll be able to join in. Our skiing groups may be scheduled over 1, 2, or 3 days in duration. So whatever you’re working on, you can join a session to continue developing. Our main adult coaching sessions are:
