BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Wear the helmet
It is the difference between a bad day and a serious one, and every rental has them. Most skiing injuries happen at low speed to beginners on easy ground.
Take the lesson before the slope
An hour of instruction is what turns a first day from falling over into skiing. Learning to stop and to fall safely, in that order, is the whole of it.
Stay inside the markers
Marked pistes are patrolled, checked and avalanche-controlled. The snow on the other side of the rope is none of those things, whatever it looks like.
The sun is stronger than it feels
Snow reflects most of the UV back at you and cold air hides the burn. Sunglasses or goggles rated for UV, and sunscreen on the underside of your chin as well as the top of your face.
Know when the last lift goes down
Being on the wrong side of a mountain at dusk in winter is a genuine emergency, not an inconvenience. Ask at the top station, not at the bottom.

Snow was good and the group was kept to a sensible size. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Solid operator.

Instruction was solid and the days were well judged for conditions. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.

Instruction was solid and the days were well judged for conditions. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Good value for what's included.

Questions people ask

No. Days two and three include instruction and the lower bowl is a good place to learn. Phase two is a long descent and the guide will hold you back from it if you are not ready.
