Ski school in Les Saisies

Quality, human and recognised teaching

To guarantee the highest quality teaching, all our instructors are graduates of the Ecole Nationale de Ski et d'Alpinisme (ENSA).
The ski levels awarded by the Ecoles de Ski Internationales (ESI) are internationally recognised, offering a consistent, cross-disciplinary approach between the different schools in the network.

At ESI Glisse Passion, we believe that learning to ski is above all a human adventure.
That's why we deliberately limit the size of our groups, to ensure that everyone gets the time, attention and attention they need to progress... in a friendly atmosphere.

From the very first sessions, children and adults alike are accompanied on the slopes: because it's when you're on the slopes that you really discover the mountains!

The resort of Les Saisies, with its varied terrain, is ideal for beginners and all the family.
