Serre Chevalier ski school, Ski Connections is based in Serre Chevalier 1400. Your Serre Chevalier ski lessons can begin anywhere that suits you, popular meet up points are next to the Cimotel in Villeneuve, at Serre Ratier in Chantemerle and at the Bachas chairlift in Monetier.
As the resort is based around villages from 1200 to 1500 meters in altitude, all the skiing is above this altitude, going up to 2800 meters. So sometimes it is worth starting off your Serre Chevalier ski lessons at the bottom of a chairlift, that way it gives you chance to have a chat with your instructor about what you are going to do. Sometimes you may have had a quick discussion online or by phone to pick out the areas you wish to improve on, in this case you may wish to ski lessons in Serre Chevalier on the piste.

The whole point about this Serre Chevalier ski school is that you can custom build and tailor your lessons to your requirements.

Ski lessons in Serre Chevalier by Ski Connections. Serre Chevalier ski lessons can be provided by private tuition or small groups. I have had a few lessons with Davina Charignon of Ski Connections both as a group (of 2) and an individual.
Each lesson has been great fun, so for the sake of this web site I asked Davina to write a few ‘online’ lessons for me to use online. Here’s an example of one of her online Ski lessons in Serre Chevalier:

“Bends zee knees!”. We have often heard this, but in fact we should think about flexing our ankles and feeling our shins in the fronts of the boots. Bending your knees makes you sit back, thus making you unbalanced and removing your shins from the fronts of the boots.
We need flexed ankles to allow us to play around with our edges.  When our knees are pushed forward, our shins stay in contact with the tongues of our boots. We can therefore increase and equally decrease the amount of edge we wish to use, easily rolling our knees from side to side.   This is essential to being a better and more skilful skier.
Flexing our ankles gives us slightly flexed legs, but also allows us to keep our hips roughly over the centre of our feet. (Unlike if you bend your knees and crouch as if you where sitting on the toilet, which places strain on our legs).
Flexed limbs are also stronger for all rotational movements which are useful for skiers. When you want to open a jam jar would you do it with a straight or flexed arm.

Ski lessons in Serre Chevalier by Davina Charignon and the Ski Connections team are easily bookable online or by phone.

Serre Chevalier Ski Lessons by Ski Connections. No, you are not about to have a ski lesson online, that would be daft! However while you are here, you could book your Serre Chevalier ski lessons online with Ski Connections. Over the past 2 years I have a had many ski lessons in Serre Chevalier with Ski Connections mainly with Davina Charignon who is awesome ski instructor. I have always found Davina’s lessons very entertaining so I asked her to write something about tips to improve skiing to go on this site, here’s one:

“A good stance is fundamental to being well balanced. As you travel down the slopes your stance should change depending on terrain, turn shape and changes in speed.  Your stance should not depend on a certain style or look you would like to achieve. It should depend upon your morphology, gender, level and your character. All good functional skiing stances should be strong and energy efficient.
Many people are too crouched when they ski. They believe that a low position will make them more stable. This is true to a certain extent, being low is okay sometimes, but not crouching. In general people bend their knees and this places their weight too far back, therefore making them not very well balanced. This combined with a steeper slope makes you often feel rather unsafe, it also gives you bad thigh burn. Your bones are there to give you support, not your muscles.
Keep your feet apart, about hip width. Try and keep your ankles, knees and hips all equally flexed. Hands should remain in front of you about hip height. Your bottom should be tucked under if you can, you should not have a hollow back. However when you ski  do not think about your body posture all the time or it will make you a stiff and rigid. To improve your posture try jumping off a few small bumps; do not try to get lots of air, but make sure that when you land your weight is in the middle of your foot. You can feel your shins on the fronts of your boots.”

Serre Chevalier Ski Lessons can be booked online or by phone, but please do book well in advance of your Serre Chevalier holiday as Serre Chevalier Ski Schools do get very booked up during busy periods.

Ski School Serre Chevalier by Ski Connections. There are a few ski schools in Serre Chevalier, but the most innovative is definately Ski Connections.
Serre Chevalier Ski School ESF still proves to be the favourite amongst the french, but Ski Connections is different in that they are interested in the ‘foreign’ market too. All the ski instructors speak English and French and some even speak Italian and German too. But, I guess as you are reading this then your preferential language is English.
Ski lessons in Serre Chevalier can begin at the office in Villeneuve (Serre Chevalier 1400), but it is much better to meet your instructor on the slopes so you can get skiing straightaway.
In the past clients of other Serre Chevalier Ski School companies have often complained that they were in large groups and the instructor just said “follow me and bend zee knees”, this helps no one. Ski lessons in Serre Chevalier that are provided by Ski Connections are in small groups and each member of the group will get personal instruction to make their skiing better.
Ski School Serre Chevalier lessons can be booked online via the form or you can call. We suggest you get in touch now online as ski lessons in Serre Chevalier can get very booked up especially in busy periods.
Ski Connectios have multiple ski school Serre Chevalier web sites in different languages.
