Private Ski Lessons
An instructor chosen for your family, down to who teaches whom.
Ask about thisWhat this is
The instructor makes or breaks a ski week, and the difference is rarely technical. It is whether the person in front of your family reads each level on the first run and adjusts. We choose that person for you, trip by trip.
The instructor is chosen around how your family is made up: levels, ages, the way each of you likes to be taught, even whether a child will ski better with a man or a woman. The network is assembled trip by trip, in every destination we work in.
Includes
- Private lessons in every destination we work in
- From a first day on skis to advanced skiers
- One instructor for the family, or one per level
- Chosen around your family, down to the instructor's gender
How it works
From your brief to the mountain.
- 01
You tell us about the family
Ages, levels and what a good ski day looks like for each person.
- 02
We choose the instructor
For the way your family skis, not whoever is free that morning.
- 03
Day one starts on the snow
Lessons are booked before you land, so the first morning is a ski morning.
On which mountains
Where we do this most.
The same service, on the mountains we know best. Every ski area has a page with what to expect there.
All ski areas
Good to know
Private Ski Lessons, in practice.
Can the whole family ski with one instructor?
Often yes, if the levels are close enough. When they are not, splitting for the mornings and skiing together after lunch usually works better than compromising all day.
Are the instructors employed by Patagonia Living?
No. The instructor network is assembled trip by trip: we choose the right person for your family in each destination.
