Slopes

The first thing that will strike you on arrival in Villars is the stunning view of the Alps and Dent du Midi mountain range. The town is situated on a sunny terrace at 1300m and the skiing stretches up to 3100m. For early and late season skiing, your pass also offers full access to the Glacier. Villars offers 125km of piste, 50% of which are classed as “intermediate” meaning this is a family-friendly resort attracting lots of beginner skiers, i.e. Ski School customers! But there is also plenty of expert terrain (and four snowparks) to support your development.

Tuition

The tuition schedule for the SnowSkool Villars course includes seven weeks of training that is expertly delivered by the most senior ski instructors within ESSS Villars. ESSS Villars is an official Swiss Ski School and all instructors on the SnowSkool course will hold the highest qualification within the Swiss system.

Ski Instructor Work

Along with your intense training and exam schedule, SnowSkool students will work as ski instructors in Villars. There are two dedicated periods of work written into your season; Xmas & New Year and through February but you will be assigned to work throughout the season and there is also scope to work at Easter if the snow remains. You will be wearing the red jacket of ESSS Villars and you will get paid a market rate for this work. Over the course of the season, earnings in excess of £3500 are entirely possible.

Qualifications

SnowSkool works with the national body, Swiss Snowsports, to provide a qualification framework. Two separate exams are written into the season schedule; the first stage is the Formation d’Admission and the second stage is the Aspirant exam. Only the most experienced and committed skiers will succeed in these exams. It goes without saying that the Swiss qualifications are super well-respected throughout the ski world and are tough qualifications to achieve.
