Swiss Mountain Sports offers private ski and snowboard lessons in various languages, primarily French, English, Italian, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Meeting points for private lessons can be arranged upon request, either on the slopes or directly at hotels. Group lessons are offered at three different locations: in Crans (close to the Zerodix lounge, in the Crans-Cry d'Er car park), at Arnouva (at the top of the Grand-Signal gondola lift), and in Montana (near the Mosaïc restaurant).
