Free kid’s ski lessons and fantastic family ski packages in the French Alps

If your heart’s set on the French Alps for 2017/2018, make sure you take a look at Pierre & Vacances’s fantastic family ski-packages.

Saving with Pierre & Vacances doesn’t mean settling for less, their range of self-catering accommodation gives you more ski-in-ski-out options than any other company in France.

They team up with all the top schools for incredible deals on ski and snowboarding lessons. Then they add even more value by offering a huge choice of après ski activities in Europe’s leading resorts.

But are Pierre & Vacances’ family ski packages really the best for 2017/2018? Take a look and decide for yourself.

Every keen skier has considered teaching their kids to ski, and hopefully dismissed the idea just as quickly. It might seem like a great way to save in the short term, but unstitching the bad habits you inevitably pass on, could cost you a fortune in the future.

Leave lessons to the professionals is Pierre & Vacances’ advice, and they’re making it very easy for you to follow this winter.
