(b) Ski New Generation – This is the top quality English Ski School par excellence, which is reflected in the price, and they are based in Vallandry.

The main meeting point is in Vallandry so if you are staying in Chalet Himalaya you will need a minibus ride to get to your lesson on the first morning. Please be sure to tell them you are staying with Go-Alpine at Chalet Himalaya in Le Villaret and wish to join them on the mountain via the “Lobster pots” from day 2 onwards.
