Group Ski Lessons, Les 2 Alpes
Quality tuition in small classes with English speaking instructors
This ski and snowboard school was first set up in Les Deux Alpes in 2013 and has gained a phenomenal reputation (just have a look at the reviews below) as providers of quality tuition specialising in teaching in small groups.
Group Lessons
If you are looking for a great ski school that provides group lessons which give you all the attention you need whether you are stepping onto the slopes for the first time or you are perfecting your technique off piste, then this is the school for you. With FirsTrax it is almost like having a private lesson with only 4 in the group. Of course, if you do want one-to-one tuition, private lessons are also available.
All their fully qualified international instructors have a wealth of experience, some who have been working in Les Deux Alpes for over 20 years, so they can show you the best parts of resort most suitable for your level. You won't need to worry about any communication barriers, as they have tutors who speak fluent English.
They teach both skiing and snowboarding as well as freestyle where you can learn to do all sorts of fun tricks in the park. If you'd like to ski off-piste, then you can enjoy a Freeride lesson making fresh tracks in deep powder with all the safety equipment provided, either in Les 2 Alpes or in nearby La Grave.
Children's Lessons
The school teaches children as young as 4 years old in a maximum group size of 4. Where possible they will teach groups according to age and not just level. Children will receive a medal at the end of the week.

Worth knowing
Firstrax also have a large ski and snowboard rental shop, so you can organise your lessons and pick up your equipment all under the same roof.
Visitor comments
- "This was our first visit to L2A as a group of 4 (2 couples in mid 20's). We chose to ski with Firstrax because 2 of our group were beginners - intermediate and 2 were more advanced. Firstrax were very accommodating in providing all of our lessons at the same time as well as being fantastic instructors. I personally skied with Luca (owner of ski school) - he was an incredible skier and insightful about the mountain. He pushed us to our limits with off piste skiing I would never have had the confidence to do without him." - Trip Advisor
- "One of my daughters had a snow board lesson which she enjoyed. I think the group lessons of four are extremely useful, this becomes apparent when you see other companies taking large groups of children 10+ in a group making it hard to see how they can get the tuition in such a large group. Marco and his team were helpful, knowledgable and went out of their way to meet our needs and we would consider returning to Les Deux Alpes simply for this tuition. Thank-you First Trax." - Trip Advisor
- "Our group consisted of three beginners with one week's skiing experience and one other who had skied eight times before. We liked the look of them because they only taught small groups to give more one-on-one tuition, unlike the bigger European Ski Schools. They set a maximum of four students in a group at once and were also cheaper than the other schools, offering discounts on ski passes and other restaurants and bars around the town. We all booked two-hour lessons for six consecutive days - the beginners were taught by Luca and the experienced group by Max. Both were hugely talented skiers and instructors, with decades of experience behind them. By the end of the week, Luca had the beginners skiing down black runs with confidence, while the experienced group was heading off piste and down slalom runs with style." - Trip Advisor
