In winter, the weather can get worse during your stay in the mountains. At the last minute, wind, snow and freezing rain can make their presence felt in the 3 Vallées. In these conditions, many ski fans choose to stay warm and enjoy other activities, with family or friends.
The Les Menuires ski resort has a wealth of leisure activities and good deals to offer, all sheltered from the bad weather at altitude. As far as ski lessons are concerned, does the weather really have an impact on the pleasure of skiing?
Bad weather: an obstacle to discovering skiing?
When the weather is not so good in the heart of the 3 Vallées, it is quite legitimate to wonder whether the ski lessons booked with the ESF in Les Menuires are being maintained, despite the bad weather.
As weather conditions are generally unstable in the mountains, it would be very difficult to plan ahead for any bad weather. For this reason, ESF instructors will always be waiting for you at the meeting point, as long as the weather forecast does not affect the ski lifts.

Bad weather doesn't in any way detract from the pleasure of skiing, as this activity is rarely affected by bad weather. No postponements, no cancellations... The ski slopes are just waiting for you!
Ski lessons: what to wear in bad weather?
Bad weather is far from being an obstacle to skiing. On the other hand, it is entirely possible to adapt lessons and exercises to suit your level, with the help of ESF expertise.
The professionals will advise you not to go up to higher altitudes and to stay at the bottom of the valley for moments of skiing with the best possible visibility.
To cope with bad weather, it's also important to choose ski clothing that's adapted to the weather.

As well as waterproof ski trousers, a warm ski jacket and thermal underwear, don't forget gloves and a ski mask. The latter is ideal for protecting yourself from the cold wind, while ensuring optimum visibility despite the lack of light.
