 Poster: A snowHead
|
Is the ESF the only ski school in Arcs 1600? I've searched on Google and snowHeads and have failed to find anybody else.
This is for some friends who are near beginners, having done a course at Hemel. I suspect they won't feel confident of getting to other parts of the Les Arcs ski area for an early starting lesson on their first day.
Be most grateful for any assistance, otherwise it'll have to be the ESF.

I think ESF are the only ones with a base there but some of the other schools may be able to meet clients at the bottom of the Mont Blanc or Cachette lifts in 1600 as a number of the instructors will be coming up on the funiculaire from Bourg down in the Valley

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Even with ESF the lessons may not be from Arc1600.
When I took a party there a year or two ago the only English speaking beginers lessons originated from Arc 1800. The skiers caught the Navette to 1800. Now they are opening the new Mont Blanc lift the massive queues out of 1600 first thing in the morning will, hopefully, be a thing of the past and your party should be able to ski over every morning, but for the first day I reccomend the bus.
There used to be another skischool based in 1600 called, IIRC, Darentasia, but I think they only operate out of BsM these days. Friends and family who have had ski lessons from ESF in Arc1600 speak well of them.

cheztichot, johnE, Thanks for the info. They're now pondering whether to book with ESF in 1600 or get the bus to 1800 and go with Arc Aventures.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

my twin 8yo's have had lessons with ESF from 1600 starting from the bottom of the cachette, for the last 3 winters the instructors have been great and the girls have come on really well with the ESF's tuition. Drop the esf 1600 office a mail the office team speak excellent english, as do a good proportion of the instructors.

Drop me a line at New Generation Ski School, we may be able to help. We are based in Vallandry and can often come over to Arc 1600 to meet people for their lessons.

Hello Wags,
If Newgen can come to your side of Les Arcs then i would take them up on the offer!
My family have had lessons with the above poster and we learnt an awful lot. Well to qualify that statement my son sort
of needed tweaking and we needed a pretty comprehensive dragging into the 21st century!
cheers Geoff
