Many of Val d\u2019Isere\u2019s ski schools also offer guiding off-piste while guiding organisations also offer instruction from innovative and forward-thinking instructors.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Val d\u2019Isere has a rich history of pioneering ski schools and guides. The resort was an early battleground for the Ecole du Ski Fran\u00e7ais when it attempted to stop rival independent ski schools from opening up, but nowadays skiers and boarders in Val d\u2019Isere have many options.<\/p>\r\n<p>The ESF, in the ski resort centre and La Daille, covers adults and children&#8217;s group lessons, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. ESF also offers day outings in the ski area, inter-resort tours, powder skiing and off-piste itineraries with the possibility of a return by helicopter, along with snowshoe and telemark skiing.<\/p>\r\n<p>There are several British ski schools, including ICE, a BASI Partner training centre which runs Gap-year courses, instructor training and performance courses for all levels of skier, and TDC Ski. The Snow Fun ski school also offers group and private ski lessons, off-piste, and children&#8217;s courses. Oxygene is another very good ski school and among usual offerings provides ladies-only ski lessons, for those who want to avoid the macho approach.<\/p>\r\n<p>For snowboarders, Misty Fly Snowboard School offers a full range of snowboard tuition.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>ESF Ski SchoolVal d&#8217;Isere<\/strong><br \/>Carrefour des Dolomites, BP 265, 73155 Val d&#8217;Isere<br \/>Tel: +33 4 79 06 02 34 Val d\u2019Isere Centre<br \/>Tel: +33 4 79 06 09 99 La Daille<br \/>Web: www.skischoolvaldisere.com<br \/><br \/><strong>Evolution 2 Ski School Val d&#8217;Isere<\/strong><br \/>Opposite the Post Office, 73155 Val d\u2019Isere <br \/>Tel: +33 4 79 41 16 72\u00a0<br \/>Web: www.evolution2.com\/valdisere\/fr\/ski.htm\u00a0(French language mainly!)<br \/><br \/><strong>ICE Ski School Val d&#8217;Isere<\/strong><br \/>International Coaching, 3-4 Bath Place, Aberdovey LL35 0LN<br \/>Tel: +44 870 760 7360<br \/>Web: www.icesi.org<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Misty Fly Snowboard School<\/strong><br \/>Place de l&#8217;Office du Tourisme, 73155 Val d\u2019Isere<br \/>Tel: +33 4 79 40 08 74<br \/>Web: www.mistyflyvaldisere.com<br \/><br \/><strong>Mountain Masters Ski School<\/strong> <br \/>Killy Sport, BP 115, 73150 Val d&#8217;Isere<br \/>Tel: +33 4 79 06 05 14<br \/>Web: www.mountain-masters.com<br \/><br \/><strong>New Generation Ski &amp; Snowboard School<\/strong><br \/>Meeting point opposite Bellevarde Express chairlift<br \/>Tel: +33 4 79 01 03 18<br \/>Web: www.skinewgen.com\/ski-schools\/val-disere<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Oxygene Ski School Val d\u2019Isere<\/strong><br \/>BP110 Galerie des Cimes, 73153 Val d\u2019Is\u00e8re <br \/>Tel: +33 4 79 41 99 58<br \/>Web: www.oxygene-ski.com<br \/><br \/><strong>Snow Fun Ski School Val d\u2019Isere<\/strong><br \/>Le Portillo BP 81, 73152 Val d\u2019Is\u00e8re<br \/>Tel: +33 4 79 06 16 79<br \/>Web: www.valfun.com (French language only!)<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>TDC Ski School Val d\u2019Isere<\/strong> <br \/>Offices in Snowberry Shop, 73153 Val d\u2019Is\u00e8re<br \/>Tel: +33 6 15 55 31 56\u00a0<br \/>Web: www.tdcski.com<\/p>\r\n<h2 id=\"section-val-d%e2%80%99isere-mountain-guides-2\">Val d\u2019Isere Mountain Guides<\/h2>\r\n<p>Numerous ski instructors, mountain guides and private ski schools offer a wide choice of possibilities alongside the traditional ESF: freestyle, off-piste, telemarking and ski touring (there&#8217;s excellent ski touring terrain between Champagny,\u00a0<a title=\"La Plagne\" href=\"\/ski-resorts\/france\/la-plagne\/\">La Plagne<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"Les Arcs\" href=\"\/ski-resorts\/france\/les-arcs\/\">Les Arcs<\/a> and the Aiguille Rouge). \u00a0Powder hounds can also slake their thirst by heli-skiing across the border in Italy, as the practice remains banned in France.
