I’ve spent countless winter months in the beautiful Meribel Valley and have got a fair bit of experience in the The Three Valleys. We hope our ten top ski schools in Meribel will give a good point to start your research. As one of the most popular resorts in the Alps, Meribel is part of the Three Valleys ski area and offers a huge variety of skiing and boarding for every ability.

But not everyone is an expert skier so whether you are a beginner or an advanced skier who is just looking to improve their technique, there are ski schools to suit everyone.

  1. A ski school is certainly on the cards for me, I’m quite terrible at sporty activities. It’s great that these schools have english speaking instructors, really good to know. This is a great post to reference if ever on the lookout for a ski school in France – they actually sound worth travelling for.

  2. A ski school would be so useful for me, I’ve never been skiing and I’m really nervous about it. This would definitely help me to learn and get more confident. I really want to go skiing one day as it looks really fun.

  3. By next January I reckon that our kids will be ready to have a go at skiing. My wife will tell you that I’m not a very patient teacher and she says she would be too nervous to teach them so we’re looking at ski schools. This is a very useful guide to Meribel. Have you done similar guides for any other ski resorts?
