Maison du sport offer private and group bookings and incorporate the Swiss Snowboard School. Other schools are Fantastique, who also supply off piste guides and Altitude.
We also have a number of personal contacts in Verbier who offer private lessons and would be happy to put you in contact. Often beginner lessons, especially group lessons and kids, are given on Les Esserts. As these are so close to the apartment it is best to ask your teacher to meet at the slope rather than at Medran.
