Our advice
Important information
- School holidays are busy periods
Make your reservations as soon as possible so that we can guarantee the availability of our lessons.
- We close the online sale 10 days before your arrival (please note that depending on the remaining availabilities, the closing of the reservations can be made earlier). If you have not been able to book online, please come to our office to buy your lessons (according to availability).
We cannot take last minute reservations by phone or mail, thank you for your understanding.
- Choose the right meeting point (departure of the lessons) according to the place where you will stay in the resort. One is located at the entrance of Les 2 Alpes (Champamé) only for adults skiing group lessons, another in the centre (Jandri Express) for children and adults.
Check the map of Les 2 Alpes here.
- Make sure that you are well insured, our lessons do not include any accident insurance. However, you can take out the Assur'Glisse insurance at the same time as the lift pass on our website after booking the esf lessons, or on site when you arrive at the lift ticket office (more information : Assur'Glisse).
- A cancellation insurance covering you before your stay will be proposed to you only during your online purchase.
- The skipass offered in our packages is valid for 6 days (even outside the lessons) on the whole ski area.
