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 this is so close to the apartment, you can request your teacher to meet at the slope rather than at Medran.
