Help & Advice
The extra care and attention that you will get from a niche operator such as ourselves will ensure the learning curve on a beginner skiing holiday is made especially easy for you. Our mountain staff are all expert at our sport and on hand to help and advise with things like lesson selection, resort orientation, buying liftpasses and getting fitted up for ski or board hire.

“Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful holiday. Your Company  and staff have been a joy to deal with, and in resort nothing was too much trouble. Thank you also for addicting my son to skiing and condemning me to a life of penury as I hand over large amounts of cash to Alpine Elements every year!" - Douglas Thompson, Chalet Des Neiges Les Arcs 2000 26th Feb

Hand Picked Ski Schools
It is not surprising that the standard of ski or board tuition can have a big effect on the overall enjoyment of your holiday. Our hand picked ski schools are known for their quality of service and instructors all speak good English, whilst keeping group sizes down to a minimum. We also offer three different levels of ski school, so those of you that can already ski or board a bit - can get a refresher course without wasting precious time learning the basics again.

Snowboarding for beginners

Beginners & Children
Our sales team will recommend a resort to suit your needs. We understand that beginners will benefit from a low pressure atmosphere to learn in, and an extensive network of easy, well kept slopes to help make progress quicker and easier.

Small children often require a Ski Garden or Kids Club with specialist treatment suited to their levels of stamina to help them master the basics, enjoy skiing in a fun environment and encourage their future progression. Children can be cared for over a half or whole day whilst allowing you some time to hone your own ski skills! Please see page 97 for more information.

Improver Clinics
For those that have skied before, then often all that is needed is a gentle confidence boost, and our variety of lessons will ensure there is a clinic to suit everyone from rusty intermediates to expert carvers! For prices and details, please see page 97 for more information and the brochure Insert, (resort pages) for lessons options.

Our Support
The perfect time to come away with an independent Tour Operator is when you are getting to grips with the early stages of learning to ski or snowboard. We can provide a personal service, run from unintimidating chalets that should help create the ideal platform for beginners to learn our sport and for the intermediates to progress that little bit further. Our staff are all very sympathetic and passionate about their snow sports, afterall we all had to go through the learning curve ourselves a few years ago!

Learn in just 3 days!
Our course of lessons is 5 half days and is tailormade to boost the learning curve for you, and should have you turning both ways within the first 3 days of starting out on snow! We can provide an ideal platform for beginners to learn our sport in an all inclusive package where  the stressful parts of learning to ski/ride are taken away so that you can concentrate on enjoying the snow!

Learn to Ski  Guarantee
We like to think that everyone should give Skiing and Snowboarding a real chance. Therefore if you promise to give it 3 full days and you choose still not to want to set foot on snow ever again with your new-found skills then we will give you a refund of £60 on any Lessons package bought for a full week. Claimants must notify the resort manager before 5.30pm on day 3 of their holiday, and then not attempt any more snow-sports for the remainder of their week, (including Snowboarding, Snow Shoeing or Cross Country Skiing). This refund will not apply to injury, equipment failure or any other problems which may be the cause for you to give up after 3 days. The only acceptable reason will be a complete dislike for snow sports!
