Important information

Your go-to ski school in Sainte Foy Tarentaise!


With a team of 53 instructors, ESF Sainte Foy Tarentaise is here to help you make the most of your holiday in the magnificent resort of Sainte Foy. Whether you’re looking for private lessons or want to learn or improve your technique alongside new friends in one of our group lessons, we’ve got just what you need. Not only does our entire team speak French and English, but we also have 10 fully bilingual instructors so you can be sure that nothing will get lost in translation.

ESF Sainte Foy: much more than just a ski school


As well as ski lessons, we offer small group snowboard courses for young snowboarders aged 10 to 17, so they can ride with style and confidence. Older or younger riders can learn new skills or continue to improve through private lessons.

Fancy finding out more about Sainte Foy’s reputation for off-piste skiing? Let one of our specialist instructors take you on a real adventure. Ski touring will take you even further: you can even set off on a multi-day trip and spend the night in a local mountain hut.

Not so much of a thrillseeker? Our snowshoe treks and nordic walking sessions will let you enjoy nature and recharge your batteries.

Ski lessons tailored to each person’s needs

Whether you’re skiing with family, friends or on your own, ESF Sainte Foy is proud to offer ski and snowboard lessons for all ages and all ability levels.
