Learn to ski with expert tuition

When you get to your resort, you’ll have the chance to meet the instructors looking after you when hitting the slopes for the first time. Our partner ski school ‘Evolution 2’ is a highly experienced ski and snowboard school, who know the slopes like the back of their hands.

Knowing where you fit helps your instructors know how to tailor lessons and make skiing a breeze.

Which ski school does Mark Warner work with?

Beginner skiers at our resort in Tignes can work with our fantastic partner ski school Evolution 2.

All the instructors at the school are fully qualified and experienced in teaching both complete beginners and those looking to develop their existing ski skills further. You will learn everything from how to attach your boots to your skis, to travelling downhill on parallel skis, and even how to go around slalom poles.

What ski lessons are available for beginners?

Evolution 2 offers an adult beginner skiing package designed to help those with little to no experience gain the skills needed to feel confident on the slopes. Their experienced, English-speaking teachers will work with you as part of a small group providing you with all the know-how you need to take to the slopes. 

When it comes to booking your session, you have the choice of half days to learn at your own pace, or, if you want some speedy tuition, you could book a full-day session to get you on the slopes sooner.

Family Ski Holidays for Beginners

Our resort is family friendly, and offers day and evening childcare so that parents can rest assured that their little ones are well taken care of while they are on the slopes.

Chalet hotel rooms are spacious enough to add a cot, and for families with older children, interconnecting rooms are available. What more could you need on a family ski holiday!

Are children's skiing lessons available with Mark Warner? £799pp

Evolution 2, our ski school partner, also provides ski and snowboard lessons for children, allowing the whole family to learn and enjoy their time on the slopes. Their English-speaking teachers are well-versed in training children and will provide a caring and relaxed atmosphere for your kids to learn and feel right at home on their skis.

Children as young as four years old can learn to ski. It is essential to book these lessons early though as spaces can be limited, especially during school holiday periods. For the children booked into our childcare, we can arrange drop offs and collections from the ski school so that parents can head to their classes or straight to the slopes without worrying about their little ones.
