What Makes Parallel Lines Special?

A Beginner’s Paradise: The Designated Area
Parallel Lines is the only British ski school in Meribel with a dedicated area just for beginners. This means you won’t be dodging more experienced skiers or feeling out of your depth as you learn. Instead, you can focus on getting to grips with skiing at your own pace, knowing you’re in a space that’s designed for your needs.
John Hendry, one of the founders of Parallel Lines, shared, “We wanted to create a space where new skiers could learn the basics without any pressure, and our beginner area does just that. It’s perfect for anyone feeling a bit nervous or those completely new to skiing.” You can even check out a video of their setup on YouTube here.
Instructors Who Know Their Stuff
The instructors at Parallel Lines are all English-speaking and incredibly experienced. They know how to make learning to ski a fun and stress-free experience, whether you’re 5 or 50. The small group sizes mean you get plenty of personal attention, and if you’re more comfortable with one-on-one sessions, they offer private lessons too.
One happy client shared this on TripAdvisor: "Best ski school in Meribel! Absolutely love all these guys – all the instructors are top-notch and super knowledgeable about the ski area. I’m a nervous skier, but they really helped build my confidence and made the lessons enjoyable. My boys have also worked their way through all the levels over the years, and they absolutely love it!”
It’s clear from reviews like this that the instructors go above and beyond to make sure you have a positive learning experience.
