We will be flexible with the programme and tailor our days to the group's desires. We may carve in the mornings, seek out some steeps, or, say if the snow is soft in the afternoons perhaps work on skills for mogul skiing. Nothing more fun than easy, slushy bumps!
​
Coaching will be focused on developing broad based core skills to improve your all-round skiing ability and allow you to tackle new terrain and challenges. This holiday is suitable for confident level 7 and higher skiers.

Although we will be based in the Meribel valley we may ski in the other two of the Three valleys on one or more days to take advantage of the terrain. A six day full Three Valleys pass is required for this course and will be delivered to the chalet if you take advantage of our pre booking service.
Piste rescue insurance (Carre Neige) €3.30 per day
We highly recommend you add the piste rescue insurance offered by the lift company when you buy your lift pass.

Coaching
The teaching will be comprised of four days (9:15-1:15) plus one extended day of coaching (9:15-3:45), allowing you a free day to rest your legs or explore the Trois Vallees.
Coaching will be focused on developing broad based core skills to improve your all-round skiing ability and allow you to tackle new terrain and challenges. Some use of drills and exercises plus lots of mileage to help consolidate your skiing skills.
Coaching groups will be aligned broadly by skier ability level as well as by the type of technical issues that may that you need to work on. Group size will be no more than eight per coach. We will make extensive use of video feedback, with analysis and review sessions held in the chalet in the evenings or on the hill in a convenient bar or restaurant.
This holiday is suitable for confident level 7 and higher skiers.
Our accommodation partner for this coaching holiday is Ski Hame, an independent chalet operator that operates a number of chalets in the Trois Vallees. Chalet Grange á Charlotte is a lovely chalet located in the traditional hamlet of Meribel Les Allues. It sleeps up to 14 people in great comfort, featuring seven en-suite bedrooms (all with full size baths except one which has a shower).
It is a very comfortable and spacious chalet, with an open plan lounge/dining area, log fireplace and underfloor heating throughout. There are hair dryers in every bedroom, and a boot room with full size boot dryer/warmer for comfortable boots every day! There is free wifi internet access throughout the chalet. The highlight of the apres-ski facilities is a full size indoor hot tub.
Meribel Les Allues is a short journey from the centre of Meribel itself. Chalet staff will take you each morning to the main lifts in Meribel by private minibus, where you will meet the Inside Out Skiing coaches. At the end of each day we will agree a time and location for collection by the chalet staff, which could be Meribel or Meribel village, allowing for a different venue for apres-ski drinks before being taken back to the chalet. Alternatively, the free resort shuttle bus or Olympic bubble can be taken to and from the chalet should you wish to do your own thing.
Transfers to the resort
​Transfer to and from Geneva Airport is available on a first come first basis from Ski Hame by private minibus service. Please contact Ski Hame to confirm transfer timings before you book your flights. As a rough guide look at flights arriving Geneva airport between 12:00-14:00 and no later than 16:00 on arrival day to ensure you arrive in time for dinner in the chalet. There may be a wait for others on different flights as Ski Hame shares the transfer with other chalet operators but their service is very reliable and well coordinated.
​
Travel within the resort
The villages of Meribel Les Allues is approximately 15 minutes from the main Meribel lift complex. Ski Hame's chalet staff are extremely helpful and use a private minibus to take you to the slopes each day where you will meet the Inside Out Skiing coaches. A time and pickup point is agreed each day for collection after skiing, allowing you the choice of apres-ski venues.
In addition to Ski Hame's service there is also a free resort shuttle bus service to get you anywhere within the Meribel valley and taxis are plentiful if you desire a late night out.
