Our philosophy

To learn and progress freely

The independent instructors, all state-qualified, welcome you to ESi Val Cenis in Haute Maurienne Vanoise. They chose the École de Ski Internationale to practise their profession in optimal conditions.

That’s why they share common values and want to offer a quality experience to every student. Their main goal is to help you succeed in your mountain vacation.

ESi is part of a network of 55 ski schools in France and Switzerland. In fact, they are grouped within the International Ski Instructors’ Syndicate (SIMS). This network is based on a recognized ESi quality charter. Thus, it guarantees serious and supervised teaching for over 40 years. With 1200 instructors, ESi offers recognized tests and medals in France and Europe. Furthermore, these distinctions enhance the progress of students.

All passionate about the mountains and skiing

The instructors share their expertise on a daily basis. Thus, they convey their passion in an exceptional environment in Haute-Maurienne Vanoise. Our small-scale ski school prioritizes flexibility and availability. Moreover, it guarantees quality teaching tailored to each individual profile. We choose to limit the number of students per group. Thus, we offer private lessons and mini-groups for optimal follow-up.

Finally, our experienced instructors adapt the teaching methods and materials to each individual. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, child or adult, everyone will find an offer tailored to their needs.

They share their experience

Our 4-year-old son skied for a week in a small group with Emmanuelle and he loved the experience.

He picked up lots of skiing skills. Emmanuelle was very caring with him, and communication with the parents was excellent too. The children go straight onto the slopes, take the lifts and progress very quickly. We can only recommend ESI Val Cenis.

Benoit | February 2025

ESI is a school with beautiful human values and a positive attitude. It prioritizes quality with small groups. I am still very satisfied with the support we receive. Thank you to Maxime for giving me back my confidence in my skiing skills so that I could have a great week with my family. Happy season to the entire team at ESI Val Cenis! …

Aourell | December 2025

Great lesson with Max, great atmosphere. It was our first snowboard lessons and he adapted really well to the different levels in the group. You could really see the difference after each lesson.
