Skiing: a fun sport accessible to everyone
Although this sporting activity is available in several disciplines, downhill skiing remains the discipline of choice. Accessible from the age of 3, ESF Les Menuires ski lessons are aimed at all generations of sports enthusiasts.
By adapting to each person's level, these lessons allow you to learn to ski and progress at your own pace, in an exceptional natural setting. Children, teenagers and adults can discover all the different facets of skiing and get even more enjoyment out of the slopes at Les Menuires.
It's a winter sport not to be missed, and one to be enjoyed with friends and family!
Progress at your own pace with esfTailor-made ski instructionSnowboarding: a sport with the wind in its sails
If you already know how to ski, but want to try out some new thrills, snowboarding could be the ideal alternative.
By replacing your pair of skis with a snowboard, you'll have more technique, more riding and more fun. Many winter sports fans prefer snowboarding for the feeling of freedom it brings, as well as for its even more fun aspect.
However, you need to be patient before you master your board, as snowboarding is known to take longer to learn than skiing. Snowboarding courses at the Les Menuires ESF are therefore particularly recommended for those who want to learn at their own pace and in complete safety.

Snowshoeing: take the time to discover the Valley
On the other hand, if you're not a keen skier or snowboarder, skiing and snowboarding may not be for you. If that's the case, there's another option: snowshoeing. Accessible to all, this sport allows you to get off the beaten track and discover a rich, unspoilt natural environment.
These snowy outings offer a completely different view of the mountains, bringing you a little closer to nature and its splendid landscapes. With an ESF instructor, it's possible to discover the mountains in a different way, while enjoying the environment that surrounds you.
