Hi
Does anyone know which resorts / ski schools in Europe offer full day ski lessons (with lunch ideally)?
Thanks
Seth

I think ClubMed resorts offer this

Almost all Austrian ski schools offer all-day group lessons for children, including a supervised lunch. It is the standard option for children's lessons. Times are usually something like 09.30 - 15.00, with 90 minutes for lunch at 11.30.

For example - Fürstauer ski school in Saalbach

Children's ski school, group courses & private in Saalbach

Children's ski school, group courses & private in Saalbach

Top trained ski instructors & great atmosphere! Whether it's a group ski course, private ski course or children's ski course - you can simply learn to ski!

I’ve just been looking ski lessons for a family trip to France (Val d’Isere specifically) so it’s fresh in my mind and I saw it as an option with Oxygene during school hols only, Evolution 2 it looks like you can book AM and PM lessons then add on a lunch club and ESF have it too after the ‘1st Star’ level. As long as the kids are at least 5 and you’re going during the school holidays then I don’t think it should be that hard to find. Oh and as a PP says you also have Club Med that’ll do almost round the clock childcare as well as the ski lessons.

Engelberg https://www.skischule-engelberg.ch/gruppenkurse/ski/kinder - I’m assuming you mean for children?

The entire Swiss ski school does this - not just Engelberg! But it’s 10-3.

As a PP said, this is standard in Austria. The 10am start time is really relaxed compared to being in France! We'd only skied in France with the DC before and found it slightly odd that they all went off for lunch together and then DH and I were just bemused to see it in action when we were in a restaurant having lunch one day and a ski school group of 5/6/7yos with two early 20 somethings appeared. The instructors were very busy flirting with each other but also keeping an eye on where there 14 or so charges had out their gloves, helmets etc, who needed the loo, who had what allergies, had they all had enough to drink etc, dealing with tears and so on.
The other downside to a 3pm finish is that, if it is sunny and warm, by the time you get to ski with the DC in the afternoon, it is largely slush.

Hi Try Ski Champuluc in Italy. Simon runs such a great company. Perfect for younger children. Lessons begin at 10am and finish at 3pm and the children have lunch with their instructor too. They even give you all vouchers that you can use in various restaurants on the mountain. We're not going to go next year as we want a change and now that our children are older we want to ski together. He's always there to help with anything you need. Lots of different hotels to choose from.
