Gallico LCE / Alpine French School is situated at the heart of the French Alps and offers students the opportunity to combine French language learning with an adventure sports holiday experience of a lifetime. The school offers weekly to semester long courses. The school is located in central Chamonix with walking distance to ski lifts, cafés, restaurants and the accommodation. Our teachers hold a university degree in FLE, and have been carefully selected to work at our school. They are energetic, young at mind and ready to welcome students of all nationalities and ages. Don't get surprised if our teachers socialize with the students at the indoor climbing wall or at the ski slope outside course hours. We want there to be more to learning French than sitting in a classroom conjugating verbs. We believe in the total experience which is why our school was started in the first place. Not only do we want our student’s to be immersed in the French culture and every day living for the benefit of their language studies, but we want them to have the opportunity to indulge in their favourite alpine sports and activities.
