Ski School and Ski Instructor Courses

Welcome to Tignes Ski School

Feefo logo

Tignes ski school is run by Anthony and Tess. Both instructors have lived and worked in the Espace Killy for a number of years so they have an abundance of local knowledge – on and off-piste.

Tignes has a reputation for being an off-piste mecca. There is no doubt that the off-piste is absolutely amazing but this should not put beginners and intermediates off. There are some amazing slopes in Tignes and our instructors will make sure you get to sample Tignes’ secrets whether green, blue, red or black!

Our Ski School is now in our third year in Tignes. This year we will be offering small morning groups, technical clinics and private lessons. In peak periods we will run the main children's group lessons. For intermediate and advanced skiers we recommend Skill Sessions and Performance Courses.

Unless otherwise arranged, lessons will start in Tignes Le Lac near to the Aeroski. Click here for a map..
