          Questions?

          Where is the meeting point ?

          The main meeting point for the private lessons is in Thyon 2000, at the sign "Private Lessons" at the corner of the terrace of the restaurant "Le panorama".

          For the little ones, the meeting point is in the snow garden (Swiss Snow Kids Village). It is also possible to ask for another meeting point in the resort (at the Joc or Matze ski lifts for example). Please check the meeting point on your booking confirmation and send us your requests for changes by e-mail or telephone.

          You will find the exact location of the meeting points in the info - meeting points section of our website, here.

          In which level should we register ?

          The ski lessons are divided into 3 Leagues: Blue League (Beginner), Red League (Advanced), Black League (Expert). The Blue and Red Leagues are divided into 3 levels: Prince/Princess, King/Queen, Star. The Black League has one level: Black Prince. After this level, your children can register in the Swiss Snow Academy.

          The snowboard lessons are divided into 2 Leagues: Blue League (Beginner), Red League (Advanced). The Blue and Red League are divided into 3 levels: Prince/Princess, King/Queen, Star. Once you have passed all these levels, you can register for the Swiss Snow Academy.

          The levels for the private lessons are only indicative. The instructor will assess the level of the student at the beginning of the lesson.

          You can find all the details about these levels on the "My Level" page, here.

          Can I choose a particular ski instructor ?

          Yes, it is possible to request a specific ski instructor (depending on availability) for private lessons only. To do this, you must notify our office by email, telephone or in person so that the information is recorded.

          What if the ski instructor is late ?

          Our ski instructors regularly have several lessons in a row. It is therefore possible that the ski instructor is late for the lesson. For each private lesson, we guarantee the time indicated, minus 10 minutes, which corresponds to the ski instructor's travel time between two lessons.

          If the instructor has not arrived between 5 and 10 minutes after the start of the lesson, please call our office and we will contact the instructor.

          The earlier the better! In order to be sure to have space on the desired date, remember to book as soon as possible. In high season some of our offers sell out very quickly.
