SKI SCHOOLS
To be honest, we have only ever used New Generation for lessons and they are excellent. They are based in the town and all instructors speak English. They are very popular (especially in peak weeks) so you would be well advised to book lessons in advance of your visit.
GETTING HERE !
Here are some useful links to help you plan your journey to Courchevel.
If you are flying, the nearest airport is Chambery (about an hour away, or other destinations include; Geneva, Lyon or Grenoble Isere.
If you are planning to drive using France’s excellent motorway network then you will need to cross the channel at some point ! Try these carriers - we can recommend Eurotunnel as the most staightforward (if not always the cheapest)
•P&O
Train is by far the most eco-friendly way to travel. It can also give you the chance of an 8 day holiday as you can arrive first thing on Saturday and leave late the next Saturday. You MUST book ski & snow trains early as they sell out very quickly.
If you decide to fly, then you can either transfer from the airports using public transport or hire your own car.

Ski Hire Shops
In the Resort you will find many ski hire shops offering a range of ski packages to suit your ability and budget. The Ariondaz has its very own Ski hire shop which offers discounts to residents and currently has a 20% discount for booking online. The brothers who run the shop are very friendly and speak good English. The shop also sells milk, juice and bread during the Winter season !
