GROUP LESSONS – Avoriaz + Lindarets Bowl
Avoriaz is an excellent choice if most of your group plan to ski around Avoriaz, Châtel, and even into Switzerland during the week. It’s also a great place to get lessons early and late season when the snow can be less predictable.
Avoriaz Alpine Ski School
ESF Avoriaz
ESF Montriond (Lindarets Bowl)
To access Avoriaz we can either take you to the Prodain Cable car which will take you directly up to the resort (ideal for Morzine based chalets) or we can take you to the Ardent telepherique which takes you into the Lindarets bowl (ideal for Montriond based chalets). From the bowl you take the express chairlift up, then a gentle blue run down into Avoriaz. Not ideal if you’re a complete beginner.
