Ski and Snowboard Schools

Here is a list of the ski schools based in Morzine, Les Lindarets, and Avoriaz. The websites can be confusing. Most have English versions. If you encounter any problems get in touch with Michael at info@chaletgueret.com. All the schools offer Ski and Snowboarding tuition and some offer Cross-Country Skiing and Snowshoeing. There is also Sit Skiing for the disabled (at the ESF – Morzine).

Morzine
The ski schools meet outside their offices in Morzine or in most cases at the top of the Pleney  telecabine so no time is wasted. Group and private lessons take place on the Morzine/Les Gets skiing domain with its 50 lifts. There are a couple of restaurants at the top of Pleney. From here there is excellent skiing down to Morzine, over to Les Gets and at Nyon/Chamoissiere.
