As the first native English-speaking ski school offering lessons in Courchevel – still going strong after two decades – Supreme Ski & Snowboard will have you up and on the slopes in no time. All instructors are BASI (British Association of Snowsports Instructors) qualified, so there’ll be no language barrier to contend with before sharpening up those skills.

What’s more, the ski school limits group tuition to just nine, and the two-hour sessions are delivered in a competent, understandable way. Add-ons include private lessons starting at €160 for two hours.
