Top ski Schools

All summit instructors are qualified, each have done a minimum of 6 weeks of training and exams. However a qualification alone is not enough to get a job teaching with Summit. They are all friendly, positive and enthusiastic, and look forward to sharing their passions of skiing and the mountains with you. We use the Snowlife Snowsport Award Scheme for children and award them at the end of the week. We set a variety of technical tasks and challenges at nine different levels. The instructors will lead the children through the appropriate level throughout the lessons and present them with their badge, booklet and certificate at the end of the week.

Some first time skiers prefer diving headfirst in to the snow and discovering the joys of skiing by themselves, but for everyone else there are skiing schools where professionals will aid you in developing your skills or showing you the basics.
