Ski Equipment Hire

By providing us with your ski and snowboard requirements in advance of your holiday we can ensure that your equipment will be waiting in your chalet’s boot room in time for your arrival. Our staff are trained to regulate boots to skis and boards and are able to make any changes on the day of your arrival or during your stay. Prices start from €150 for six days adult ski/snowboard and boot hire including insurance and from €100 for children.

Ski Instruction

Alpine Infusion has its own portfolio of private ski instructors who are bookable in advance, however Méribel has a wide selection of ski schools for skiers and snowboarders of every level and all age groups.  We strongly recommend that you book lessons in advance of your holiday as they are very popular and often have few remaining places available on arrival in resort. This is particularly essential over the school and peak holiday periods. 

Private ski lessons with David Lindsey

David is a certified French, English and New Zealand instructor who has taught skiing all over the world. He is the son of Peter Lindsay, considered to be the “founder” of Méribel, who started the resort in 1936.

David runs a number of 3 and 6 day ski courses during the season. These are for “reasonably capable” off-piste skiers and those who are keen to ski off-piste, discover more of the 3 Valleys and have an “OK” level of fitness. The courses have a balanced mixture of technique, video analysis and lots of skiing both on-piste and off-piste (as conditions allow). The atmosphere is fun, friendly and informal but with a real enthusiasm for the sport and the mountains.

Group Lessons with Magic in Motion Snowsports Academy

Delighting clients since 1992, Magic is an independent school owned and run by an Anglo-French team. Their group lessons are conducted in English and are small to ensure optimal attention and motivation. Helmet covers are provided to easily identify children (colour coded by level) and children’s groups are split not only by level, but also by age. For the Little Ones (aged 4-5), they have the safe and secure ‘Magic Garden’ with its own private Magic Carpet (travelator lift) and a chalet with music. There is also a qualified teaching assistant present to assist the instructor for the first few days.

They are proud that their Kids Fun Factory is probably the best-loved product for children: combining 3 or 4 long mornings plus 2 full days with lunch in a mountain restaurant (included in the price), a treasure hunt, timed runs, freestyle and jumps on a bouncy big air bag. Aspiring champions will love the Race Academy where one of the trainers competed in the 2010 Olympics.

Adult Group Lessons incorporate intensive tuition with only 4-7 pupils and include a ‘day off’ to allow a deserved lie-in and/or to ski with friends plus a longer morning to round off the week on a high. Examples of some of the type of group lessons are shown below, however they offer a lot more, so please speak to us or contact Magic directly:

Lesson Type Timings Price
Little Ones (aged 4-5) 5 mornings (2 hrs) 230€
Kids Fun Factory (aged 6-9 yrs, 10-13yrs, 14-17 yrs) 3 long mornings (4 hrs) plus 2 full days including lunch  435€
Adult Groups 3 mornings (2 hrs) plus 1 long morning (4 hrs) 170€
