Maison Sport, the online platform that connects skiers & snowboarders with professional instructors, has launched an extensive range of resort and ski guides for over 150 of the top ski locations in Europe.

The guides have been written by Maison Sport’s team of experts to help people select the best resort for their level.

There’s a wealth of expert insight and practical tips from seasoned instructors, including detail around top runs for skiers of different abilities.

There’s the best in-resort recommendations so people can select the right resort for their level and requirements.

The reviews are short and give an overview of the village & ski area and then breakdown the runs for beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers.

Snowparks and off piste are also reported on, with some guides reporting on apres ski, restaurants and insider tips.

“At Maison Sport, we are committed to making skiing more accessible,” said the co-founder and CEO of Maison Sport, Nick Robinson.

“In each of our guides, skiers can find key information about the area, and where we would recommend for a great ski experience.

“Our hope is that these guides will not only give skiers practical advice, but also act as a source of inspiration to take on new adventure.”

About Maison Sport 

Maison Sport was created by a team of industry professionals with over 25 years of ski teaching experience.

All ex-British ski team members & fully qualified ski instructors, the founding team at Maison Sport have successfully worked together over the past 8 years.

The vision for Maison Sport was conceived after the trio acquired a traditional ski school in France, where revenue has since increased around 10 times.

Witnessing an antiquated way of booking lessons, they spotted an opportunity to solve a problem for customers and ski instructors, by using a technology platform to connect the two parties together directly.

Maison Sport offers reduced costs to the customer of as much as 50% and provides a more ethical and profitable practice for the instructors, who keep up 93% of the cost of the lessons.

Much like many successful marketplaces, one of Maison Sport’s key selling points is its unique instructor reviews, only left by past customers, which enable new customers to make informed decisions about their ski or snowboard lessons.

Currently, the Maison Sport marketplace includes more than 400 resorts and over 1,300 trusted, qualified instructors across France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria.

In France, Maison Sport’s instructor pool is second only to the Ecole de Ski Francais, a company that was founded in 1937.
