Lessons can very reasonably priced particularly if you take a group lesson package where you have a lesson each morning of your vacation. It is in all probability a good option to arrange this before you arrive so you are able to get each member of the family booked in. This way you will be prepared to start on the start of your ski vacation.

Ski equipment is normally included in the cost of the lessons however just check to make sure when you make your reservation.
