"I like that it came as a bundle – it made learning to ski so easy. I’m now encouraging all my friends to go on a Slope Starters trip." -Elaine, Flaine 2024

Who is this right for?

In Slope Starters, your lessons will cover everything from how to carry your skis/board to making your first turns, so you’ll be starting from the very beginning.

Slope Starters is right for you if:

• You’ve never skied before
• You’ve only taken a few hours of lessons on an indoor slope

If I'm not a first-time skier, can I travel with a first-time skier and be part of Slope Starters?

No. Slope Starters is only for first-time skiers and boarders, so you won’t be able to join if you’ve been on a ski holiday before. If you want to travel as a mixed ability group, you’ll need to book a different ski holiday and add your lessons on.
