Portes du Soleil Ski School - Switzerland
Throughout the season you will find our dedicated ski instructors on the slopes running ski lessons for English speaking nationalities who are on holiday in the Portes du Soleil. Many tourists choose a dedicated English speaking ski school over other ski schools to ensure they will be taught in the ski instructors' mother tongue. Our ski school is popular with English speaking locals and ex-pats commuting from the nearby Swiss towns of Montreux, Lausanne and Geneva. In our experience, beginner, intermediate and expert skiers benefit from ski lessons in their native language and helps makes the information given clearer which means individuals get the best out of their skiing. Unlike other ski schools, our ski instructors aren't restricted to the same resort every day. This allows them to visit another Swiss resort to continue providing you with ski lessons in a different ski resort for continuity in your development. So if you choose to ski in Villars the next time you want to a ski lesson you can have the same instructor as you had when you had a ski lesson in the Portes du Soleil!

Beginner Skiing in the Portes du Soleil
Private lessons are popular in the Portes du Soliel because of its wide selection of runs that are perfect for beginner skiers hoping to get their best first experience on snow. Many ski schools operate from all the corners of the area, from Les Gets to Morzine on the French side to Champery and Morgins on the Swiss side. Each one has great learning facilities. Our favourite spots to introduce individuals and a group of skiers to the sport are the slopes around Les Crosets and Morgins.
Intermediate Skiing in the Portes du Soleil
Intermediates will find the slopes of Champéry perfect because the red and blue runs it offers are numerous and quiet. As a ski school, we love to run lessons here! A hidden gem of a run can be found in Morgins. We are talking about the Didier Défago run named after the local Olympic downhill champion. It is accessed from the back of the Aiguille du Champey chairlift and runs back to Morgins village from the top of Champoussin. It is rarely skied. In Champoussin at 1580m you can find one of the longest ski runs in the area lasting 7km and is a great experience for intermediate skiers. The resort is fairly snow-sure and we often head there with our private group ski lessons. There are also plenty of runs to keep intermediate skiers carving over in Morzine and Les Gets. One stand out is the Aigle Rouge over on the Nyon area!
Expert Skiing in the Portes du Soleil
One for the bucket list for the expert skier is La Chavenette (The Swiss Wall). The Wall is a local legend and is a mogul run of 2km with 50degrees of steepness. The Wall is serious so don't take it lightly. Lots of people get hurt every season. It isn’t to be skied unless you are confident with both steeps and moguls. There is a two-way lift for beginner and intermediate skiers that runs up and down and you can watch the other skiers going down the wall.
