Learn to ski

Virtually all of our resorts offer good beginners' facilities, and you will find our resort ratings a useful guide in making your choice.

To help you further, there are specially low-priced packages exclusively designed for those who have never skied before (including having never skied on dry slopes), to ease you into the world of skiing, with friendly, professional instruction.

    First time

    Look out for the first time logo

    The First Time packages include ski and boot hire, lessons and a lift pass (where needed) and are for complete beginners only. This is cheaper than buying the components separately.

    Please note: in many cases, a full lift pass is required straight away and has therefore been included, while in other resorts you may or may not need to use the main lifts on the first 2 or 3 days. Depending on the resort and how quickly you progress, if a lift pass is not included you will need to budget for at least a 3-5 day lift pass, purchased locally.
