ESi Orcières

Ski and snowboard courses at Orcières

Founded at the beginning of winter 2006, ESI Orcières is an École de Ski Internationale committed to a quality approach. A member of the International Ski Instructors’ Union (SIMS), it follows a teaching charter aimed at offering professional and personalised support to each student.

A friendly and human approach

Adhering to a friendly and human approach to learning, the school prioritizes group classes with a reduced number of students to ensure better monitoring and progression tailored to each individual. Groups are limited to 6 students for beginners aged 4 to 6 years and a maximum of 8 students for the other levels. This organization allows instructors to provide individualized advice, enhance safety on the slopes, and create an atmosphere conducive to learning.

Live the ESi Orcières experience

Qualified and passionate instructors

The ESI Orcières team is made up of state-qualified instructors who are passionate about mountain sports and eager to pass on their expertise. Accredited by the Ministry of Sports, the school also takes part in training future ski teaching professionals. Some members of the team also hold additional mountain qualifications, such as high-mountain guide or mountain leader. They all share the same goal: to share the pleasure of snow sports and support each skier in their progress, whatever their level.

A mountain experience for all levels

We offer alpine and Nordic skiing lessons, snowboard lessons and other disciplines, for all levels, for children from age 4 and adults, in group or private lessons. These classic formulas have already proven their effectiveness, and we add our ESI touch: conviviality, sharing, fun… And to congratulate everyone on the work done during the week, the medal ceremony is a must! Another opportunity to share a good moment with your instructor.

First experience for our 4-year-old daughter, Romy, who loved her week of skiing with Jordan

. She was very happy to have her green mouse medal. A very good memory. A huge thank you to Jordan for his attention, kindness and commitment towards the children. Thanks to the ESI Orcières team

First ski experience for our 5-year-old daughter, and we have no regrets about choosing the ESi....

Taught in small groups, which allowed our daughter to progress very quickly in one week. Very reasonable price. My daughter loved her instructor's kindness and the local apple compote 😀. ESI had been recommended to us this summer by someone from the village, who rightly pointed out that the groups were much smaller than at its "competitor". So the choice was quickly made, as I myself had experienced, 30 years ago, classes of more than 10 people, which did not leave me with good memories.

A big thank you especially to Antoine for his patience, his pedagogy, and his enthusiasm for teaching the lessons, giving of his time, and passing on his passion to little ones!

Jeanne will remember her first week on skis, delighted with her "green mouse" medal. See you next year, without a doubt!

Excellent experience! For a first time, we had opted for private lessons due to some self-confidence issues and shyness in public among our two sons (4 years old and 5 and a half years old).

. Jordan managed to put them at ease immediately, which allowed them to develop a taste for skiing and progress at lightning speed! They loved their week and have great memories of it! They are also proud of their medals, a keepsake that stands the test of time (proof: back home, their mum showed them her own Crystal medals from the 90s!) A big thank you to Jordan for his professionalism, his teaching skills and his ability to adapt to each child's personality. He was truly committed to helping them progress, and every day we saw new skills 👏👏
