British-run New Generation Ski School Serre Chevalier offers group courses, private lessons, technical performance clinics and guided adventure days in and around Serre Chevalier.

British BASI Trainer Gavin Crosby and his colleague Simone are two of the World’s highest qualified ski teachers. Whether choosing a group course or private lessons, you’ll benefit from their enthusiasm and life-long passion for alpine skiing.

In small groups of 3-6 or 2-8 skiers, enjoy individual attention and involvement! The team’s approach is so different from that of conventional ski schools, many say their group courses felt like private lessons!

Getting the most out of your trip

A range of coaching options are available; short, focused clinics ensure you get maximum time free-skiing, and there’s no waiting for ski lifts as Gavin and Simone command Serre Chevalier lift priority right across the valley.

We advise that all children wear helmets and are dressed adequately to keep warm and dry, and all those accompanying us off-piste will be supplied with free avalanche safety equipment.

Where to find us in Serre Chevalier

Our base Monêtier (at the highest end of the valley) is – we think – one of the best kept secrets in the Alps. Here’s an overview of Monêtier and why we rate it so highly – click HERE. We run small lessons and groups so there’s more one on one time with your instructor. Beginner’s courses are enjoyed on slopes at village altitude (1500m). Natural gullies ensure fun-packed performance clinics and children’s ski courses. The famous larch forest, tree descents and off-piste itineraries (from 2830m) await confident skiers looking for adventure.

Easy access

With the brand new Vallons chair (six minutes – just long enough to eat a croissant!) and the free shuttle bus for novice skiers, popping across to Monêtier from Villeneuve, Chantemerle or Briançon couldn’t be easier.

Book early

We strongly recommend you book ski lessons before coming to resort. If do have any questions, or only decide you would like lessons when in-resort, call Mel on +33 (0)6 79 46 24 84.
