 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I have organised our annual group long weekend ski trip to Meribel for next year. We arrive about noon on the 3rd March and will leave late afternoon on the 7th March. A couple of complete beginners (That is correct they have never put skis on before) have decided to come. I have suggested that they at least go to an indoor slope before we go. When we get to Meribel can anyone recommend a good ski school or private instructor that might be suitable. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I've used Magic in Meribel several times and always been impressed with their instructors. I've always been very happy with Florent for private instruction but if you let them know it's for beginners they'll make sure you get someone suitable.
There's also a BASS ski school there and they've also been good.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

thank you for your replies. I have emailed Marmalade (alas prior to reading your post rob@rar but will mention it when they get back to me )
As you mention we will have to book private lessons but that is not an issue.
I will also email Magic as suggested by olderscot

We rated highly Sam Taylor at Ski Newgen in La Tania. I'm pretty sure he covers Meribel too. Gotta be worth an email to ask.

We (group of friends) get a private lesson each year from Parallel Lines and have been very satisfied.

@spursfan, look up mike Harrison on merinet.com, he has been in meribel for well over 20 years, and was one of the early brits to work for both the ESF and have private clients. I recommended him to my sister in law and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Why not Ski Pros Claude Decagny if you are planing to go skiing to Courchevel, La Tania, Meribel, Saint-Martin de Belleville, Les Menuires and Val Thorens ?
