Ski School

We’d be delighted to recommend and arrange ski tuition for you and your party during your stay with us at Chalet Chovettaz. Alas, the actual cost of the ski and snowboarding lessons is not included in the price of your holiday but our assistance is free!

L’Ecole du Ski Français is an internationally known training agency with two offices in Les Contamines, 70 instructors (male and female) and a whole range of ski tuition programmes on offer. Lessons are available in several languages including English and 9 certified High Mountain Guides are also on the staff. Our personal contact with the ski school ensures that our clients receive the best service.

These instructors were born on skis, are rigorously trained and know how to get the best from you. And remember, they’ve seen it all before!

An alternative choice of private instruction is available for all levels. Specialist tuition in free-style skiing, off piste adventures and carving can also be arranged. Group lessons are limited to a maximum of 10 skiers with semi-private and individual lessons also available.

For professional ski services other than traditional lessons, both the ski schools and the Bureau de Guides can arrange off-piste guides at around €300 per day for  a private engagement or €56 per person for a 1/2 day group organised by the bureau.

The Vallee Blanche

The Vallee Blanche is an adventure not to be missed and we are perfectly placed to enjoy this fantastic experience here in Les Contamines. It is an unforgettable experience for any reliable intermediate skiier with good control and the right gear in the company of a qualified guide, available from the village. Depending on snow conditions, you can ski from the Aiguille du Midi at 3842m back to Chamonix over crevasses and glaciers. It’s spectacular and challenging day’s skiing.

Also through the ski schools and mountain guide offices, accompanied snow shoeing trips cost around €24 per person per half day and invaluable 3 hour sessions focusing on « Snow Knowledge » can be arranged from €18 per person.

Please note that the prices quoted are correct at time of publication. They have probably gone up by the time you read it though!
