We are a small, private ski school for travellers who expect everything, including the snow. State-certified French instructors. Multilingual. From your chalet door to the highest pistes in Europe.
Snowtailors was founded for guests who already have a chalet, a watch, and a story — and who are looking for something rarer: a morning carved out of the mountain, just for them. Our instructors are state-certified by the École Nationale de Ski et d'Alpinisme. They speak your language, ski the lines you've dreamed of, and remember how your son took the corner last winter.
Chalet pickup, glacier mornings, the after-ski you actually want to talk about. Our home village.
DiscoverFrom 1850 to Le Praz, we tailor a private programme around your hôtel particulier — Cheval Blanc, K2, Le Strato.
DiscoverLarch forests, off-piste passages, and the most balanced ski terrain of the area. A long-time favourite for British and French families.
DiscoverWide, generous slopes for confident skiers and large families. We craft journey days across the entire 3 Valleys from here.
DiscoverA 14th-century stone hamlet, the Michelin-starred kitchens, the cleanest snow in the valley. Our quietest, most refined chapter.
DiscoverFull days or half days, shaped around your group. Your instructor reads your skiing, your patience, and your guests within the first run.
From the Cime Caron itinerary to the secret powder bowls of La Masse, we open the mountain when conditions allow — never when they don't.
Disciplines often relegated to group classes elsewhere. Here, they receive the same attention, the same instructor calibre, the same elegance.
Beyond the slopes: lunch reserved at La Bouitte, helicopter transfers, après-ski violinists, ski wardrobe ironed at dawn. We arrange. You arrive.
★★★★★A special thank-you to Justine — thanks to her, my two children (6 and 8) were skiing on the pistes in barely an hour.

Every Snowtailors instructor holds the French national diploma — the same qualification that produces World Cup coaches and Olympic medallists. But qualifications alone do not make a great morning on a mountain. We choose ours for what cannot be tested: patience, taste, languages, and the quiet authority that lets a beginner trust them by run two.

We publish our starting rates. We do not publish the experience. Every quote is built around your group, your dates, your apartment door, and the specific lift gates we'll meet at. Prices below exclude lift passes, rentals and helicopter transfers, all of which we arrange on your behalf.
A Snowtailors morning rarely ends on the lift. Our concierge — managed by the same instructor who skied with you — arranges the parts of a 3 Valleys week that travel guides never mention. Quietly. Without a fee.
Tell us your dates, your stations, your level — and the names of the people skiing with you. We answer within 24 hours, in English, French, Russian or Spanish. The first call is by phone or WhatsApp, not a form. That is the whole idea.
