Where you’ll stay

THE ACCOMMODATION

Normally the ‘ski season way of living’ can be a bit of a surprise if you’re not used to it, with “cosy” and slightly dated apartments. However, Chalet Cassenoix is an incredible property.

This spacious chalet is located in Nantgerel, a quiet village just one stop on the bus from Meribel. Cassenoix has five twin bedrooms, all of which are en suite. Upstairs there is a lovely light living and dining space with TV, internet, a cosy fireplace and amazing views from the balcony. The open plan kitchen has a dishwasher, huge fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle and most importantly, before a day on the slopes… a coffee machine!

There is a separate ski room, with a heated boot rack so your feet are always warm and dry. It’s essentially a 10-week chalet holiday.

The accommodation on our Meribel Ski Instructor Course includes:

• Twin Rooms all Ensuite
• TV
• Wifi
• DVD player
• Dishwasher
• Fireplace
• Fully Equipped Kitchen
• Washing machine
• Tumble Dryer
• Ski Room Boot Heaters

BOOK YOUR COURSE

*To ski off-piste safely, you must carry a transceiver shovel and probe. We will take you off-piste during your course and highly recommend that all students purchase their own safety equipment. If you don’t purchase avalanche safety equipment you will need to hire it for the off-piste days.
