What lesson type is for you?
Booking an independent instructor directly is cheaper than booking your lessons with a ski school.

We offer four main variations of lesson types for you to choose from.
People participating in Skiing
Private ski lessons
If you’ve booked a one on one lesson or are with a small group of friends, the ski instructor can fully personalise the private lesson to suit you - from what you do in the lessons, to where you begin and finish your lessons.
From €50/hr
People participating in Snowboarding
Private snowboard lessons
Your private snowboarding lesson will be completely personalised to your needs, whether it's a one to one lesson or you're snowboarding with friends and family. Your instructor can be flexible on where you meet and where you ride in your lesson.
From €45/hr
People participating in Adult group lessons
Adult group ski school lessons
We take a maximum of just 4 or 6 skiers per group (dependent on resort). We also ensure these skiers are of a close ability level, enabling the ski instructor to deliver a lesson plan which will be fun and helpful to the entire class.
From €225/p
People participating in Childrens group lessons
Children's group ski school lessons
To ensure your child receives personalised ski lessons, we keep our children's ski school groups small. We take a maximum of just 6 children per group and ensure these skiers are of a close ability level, enabling the ski instructor to deliver a lesson plan which will fit the entire class.
From €350/p

Top experience with Diego! I've been skiing for a while, but on the steeper runs I always ended up sitting back with my body and, out of fear, loading the wrong ski, skidding out of control. I'd had o...

You can book online by entering your resort, sport and desired dates and then choosing from the list of available instructors.

Our customer service team are always available to help with any questions you might have and can be contacted on WhatsApp, live chat, phone and email.

Any instructor that has a blue ‘verified’ tick icon on their profile has had their qualifications vetted and verified by the Maison Sport team, the level of qualification required to have a verified account on Maison Sport varies slightly by country. As follows: France – all verified instructors must carry a ‘Carte Professionelle’ licence, the qualification requirements for this licence are very high. The licence is administered by the French Government (to attain a Carte Professionelle most instructors will have studied for an average of 5 years+ to attain the correct level of qualification). Aside from requiring the instructor to have the highest level of qualification, which includes numerous teaching and technical performance diplomas in skiing or snowboarding, European mountain safety courses and the Euro speed test, the instructors are also required to have a criminal record check and a first aid certificate. Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Finland, Scotland, Spain – all verified instructors must carry a minimum level of qualification which must be at the ISIA card level or above. Instructors working independently must provide documentation to show they meet the local regulatory requirements to do so and instructors that are working for a ski school must provide details of the school they work for.

You can arrange the meeting point with your chosen instructor by using the Maison Sport messaging system. We recommend agreeing this before you book your lessons, but it can always be arranged at a later date. The instructor should be able to suggest somewhere that is convenient for you both.

Maison Sport allows you to find independent ski or snowboard instructors from any ski resort across France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Slovenia, Finland, Andorra and Germany. It allows you to get in touch with the instructor(s) directly. Simply search and book online!

Signing up to Maison Sport is free of charge for all customers. Maison Sport will however add a booking fee to the instructor's fee, when a booking is made. Maison Sport fees range from 9% to 15% depending on the size of the booking.
