Frequently asked
How much does a private instructor cost?
Senior ESF: €380–€520 per half-day for a private lesson (1–4 people). Supreme and Magic in Motion: €420–€600. Peak weeks (New Year, February half-term) are priced 15–25% higher.
When should I book for New Year and February half-term?
By August at the latest. Members of The Society can hold slots through July.
Do you book group classes for cousins / friends?
Yes — we co-ordinate dropped-off children from multiple families into one private group, with one senior instructor for the week. Usually 4–6 children of similar level.
Can the instructor meet at the chalet?
Yes — every senior instructor in 1850 includes door pickup. Boot-fitter visits to the chalet can be co-ordinated the same morning.
