International ski schools
The international ski school is celebrating its
30th birthday.
The school is made up of new mountain professionals,
all dedicated to winter sports. Their dynamism, together
with the school's ability to adapt means that it
is at the forefront of sporting activities.
The ISS brings together nearly 70 ski schools www.ecoledeski.fr
,
all of which have signed a charter that guarantees the quality of the facilities,
the professionalism of the services on offer, as well as dynamism and constant
innovation.
Group lessons are restricted to 10 learners in nearly all the schools (to
5, 8 or 10 learners in La Toussuire)
All the Instructors have to carry the ENSA state Qualification (Ecole
Nationale de Ski et d'Alpinisme) obtained from the school in Chamonix. Only this school
can grant the qualification.
