Ski School - Ideal for beginners, learn in a group environment
Offering professional instruction, ski schools aim to teach the basics of learning to ski, including techniques such as stopping, turning and skiing with controlled speed. Ski lessons are offered for any age and level, with convivial group lessons being the most common and cost effective way to learn, although more expensive private tuition is widely available. Ski schools run specific classes for children, which tend to be extremely popular, taking ages from 3 years and up, and offering fun age-appropriate tuition in specially-themed areas. Children learn in a safe, yet playful environment, expertly taught by trained and experienced instructors, with ski schools providing games and activities, as well as lunch and refreshments. Most children’s' ski schools get booked up in advance, especially during school holidays, so it is advisable to inquire about availability at the time of booking your ski trip. As well as teaching children the basics, ski schools serve the invaluable purpose of allowing parents time to go off and enjoy the slopes on their own, safe in the knowledge that their children are being taken care of.

Ski School - Excellent choice, recommended for all levels
Ski schools can provide everyone with expert tuition and help to improve skills and techniques at any level. At practically all of the European resorts, the schools provide multi-lingual instruction and English-speaking instructors, and there is generally a wide range of personalities and teaching styles to suit all students. Look for a ski school with the proper accreditation for that country, and choose from major national ski school companies such as the ESF (Ecole de Ski Francais), or smaller more personal businesses.
