telemark private lessons
With a free heel and elegant turns, you will discover the art of telemark
Invented in 1868 by Sondre Norheim, a Norwegian farmer from the province of 'Telemark' (hence its name), this elegant sport is made up of from all types of skiing including alpine, cross-country and a hint of freestyle .
The Telemark binding allows the heel to take off for turns with the knees bent. There is nothing new about telemeark as it was one of the first forms of skiing.
Along with wide skis, you will enjoy an easy, innovative and exhilarating experience. This Norwegian taste of skiing gives you the benefit of gliding with the freedom of the turn.

testimonials from our clients and instructors
A private course that I book every year. I love this discipline a little forgotten.
I’m always happy to introduce our customers to telemark. The private course is really ideal for starting or perfecting.

I have only booked half-day lessons. Is my lift pass valid for the rest of the day outside of my lesson time?
Yes, whether it is the Initiation package or the Progression package, your lift pass is valid all day for 6 days.
What do I do if I am late to pick up my child?
If you are ever late to pick up your child at the end of their lesson, please let us know by phone and we will have them wait in our offices with our hostesses. That is to say in the ESF Chalet of Grandes Rousses or in the ESF office of Bergers depending on the meeting point and departure area of the lesson.
Do you provide ski equipment?
No, we don't take care of the hardware. The resort's sports shops are there for this, and they will advise you on the choice of equipment according to the levels and desires of each. Let the professionals guide you!
I will only be there for 5 days, is the price of the group lessons cheaper than the 6-day card?
Whether for 5 or 6 days, the price is the same since it is a package. Indeed, if you only take 3 days it will be 3 times the single unit rate, on the other hand, from 4 days, it will cost you more than the weekly rate.
Am I insured with my bank or credit card?
Each card being different, check directly with your bank in order to know all the conditions on your cover (rescue, repatriation, reimbursement of care, reimbursement of ski lessons, reimbursement of ski lift passes etc...)!
