Ski Equipment

We have negotiated special prices for our guests at three local ski equipment shops. As a rough guide a set of adult skis and boots would cost between 80 - 110 Euros for a week, depending on quality. For Children, budget 50-80 Euros.

Ski Passes

Megeve has one of the lowest priced ski pass of any major resort - some 25% less than most other comparable ski areas.

Ski Schools

There are now a lot of English instructors in Megeve, but they tend to move from one ski school to another each season.

ESF 00334 50 21 00 97 www.megeve-ski.com/

The ESF have reponded to competition and are now offering group lessons in English using either first-language English instructors or French instructors, with good English language skills, who enjoy teaching in English. The early reports have been good. However, some of the ESF office staff can be a bit difficult. Ask to speak to Francoise or Caroline who speak good English and are happy to help.   For the Sylvana/Clochettes book lessons departing from Rochebrune or Caboche (Caboche is where the accompanied skiing departs from). For all other chalets, lessons departing from the Caboche are best.

During the season ring ESF Caboche 0033 4 50 58 72 54. Ask for lessons with the following English/Scottish/Aussie instructors:

Scott Beecham, Scott Henderson , Raph(ael) , Katie Campbell, and (frenchman) Alex Perrinet.

ESI 00334 50 58 78 88 www.esimegeve.com

The ESI is smaller and a little more expensive than the ESF, but its instructors are very good and the office staff speak English and are very helpful. We understand that the ESI will also offer group lessons in English next winter. Former guests may like to know that Philip May(aka Sumo) will be working with the ESI next winter (sumophil47@hotmail.com)
