Jeremy was absolutely amazing! We went from pizza/snowplough to blue runs on the first morning and red runs on the second. Thank you so much!

Sarah | March 2026

A great experience with Ski Sensations. I took 5 half-day lessons with Baptiste and I have no regrets: he is very knowledgeable and really nice. His explanations are clear, which allowed me to progress with confidence and with great pleasure ⛷️. I highly recommend it!

Antoine | February 2026

This was our 2nd year with Jérémy and the Sensations team. Just like last year, we are very happy with the classes and the experience. The classes in Spanish are a plus for the children (and adults). Jérémy and Michel took us on a tour of all the slopes and also the restaurants in the mountains. We will return when the children are ready for snowboarding!

Omar | January 2026

Excellent performance provided by Ski Sensations

Whether it was the organization of the requested courses (location, time slots) or the quality of the courses provided. Instructor Baptiste was extremely pedagogical and the quality of the courses provided enabled the young people who were with us to progress significantly in a short time. We will definitely return to Ski Sensations. The prices are also reasonable compared to the competition. A big thank you to the Ski Sensations team and to Baptiste!

Vincent | March 2026

I had an amazing experience with Ski Sensation. Because it's a smaller team, the communication is seamless and the lessons feel much more personalized. My instructor was a true expert who pinpointed exactly what I needed to improve. It doesn't feel like a 'factory' school—you get real, professional coaching tailored to your level.

Yuxin | February 2026

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I'm a snowboarder of about 37 years in my late fifties and I've always wanted to try monoskiing. I'm not a skier, I've never been on a pair in my life. Despite this, I was determined to try it. My instructor Jeremy was just the best. Patient and encouraging. He really helped me get to grips with everything new. From ski boots to using the poma (button lift) on one ski. Within the three hours I managed to learn enough to link a few turns and felt like mono was something I could really get into. Jeremy Picq was a great instructor and I can highly recommend him and this company.

Nick | January 2026

Great one-skiing stage with Jeremy, top technical advice, great teaching, and patience – 5 stars! Thank you very much!

Eugénie | January 2026

Fantastic first ski experience! The Sensations Chamonix ski school gave us an unforgettable experience. As a complete beginner, having Jeremy as my instructor made all the difference. He was incredibly patient and encouraging, and he explained everything in a way that put us at ease from the very beginning. My whole family skied for the first time, and Jeremy knew how to guide us all at our own pace while making the session fun, safe, and enjoyable. His professionalism, kindness, and passion for teaching were really palpable throughout the entire course. We couldn't have dreamed of a better introduction to skiing. I highly recommend the Sensations Chamonix ski school, and especially Jeremy, to anyone who wants to learn and enjoy the slopes for the first time! ⛷️❄️💙

Lucia | December 2025

I highly recommend it!

The lessons and the support have been exceptional. We had never skied before and, after just three lessons, we have already managed to ski down a blue slope. Moreover, the instructor (Nicolas) speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish and French.

Matheus | December 2025

It was a great lesson and Jeremy was incredibly kind and supportive with us beginners!! I would totally recommend :)

Azzurra | December 2025

Jeremy was an excellent teacher!!! He allowed me as many breaks as I needed and helped me improve my skills immensely. I highly reccomend this ski school.

Stéphanie | March 2025

Highly recommended!!! Very good professionals!!! Both for children and adults... we will definitely be using them again!!.

José | March 2025

We had a fantastic stay skiing under the guidance of Baptiste and Michel. They were very competent and patient, and helped us enormously. Many thanks!

Mark | March 2025

I arranged 3x beginner ski lessons for my family with Ski School Sensations who provided them with excellent tuition. They all progressed very well as first-time skiers. I also booked an intermediate lesson for myself where I learnt how to carve skis and deal with more difficult runs. This was another excellent day and I fully recommend the experience with this ski school.

Roger | February 2025

Very good experience, the spots were perfect, although my daughters are almost beginners (one snowflake ❄️ and the other a star 🌟). Super instructor, patient and excellent advice to progress and safely. I will repeat my experience with my family and I highly recommend this ski school.

Aude | February 2025

We had Baptiste as our instructor for half a day and he was an amazing instructor! My friend who was a beginner gained more confidence doing the blue slopes and Baptiste also taught me how to go down a red one! Overall great experience, and we will definitely book with this company/ especially Baptiste when we're back in Chamonix! Thank you!

Ericka | February 2025

I had never skied before and after two morning lessons with Jeremy, I felt comfortable on the slopes and had a great time following my friends' pace on most of the slopes! Jeremy was really very kind, patient and an excellent teacher. Thanks Jeremy :)

Sean | February 2025

I had Baptiste for private lessons and what a nice man. Very friendly and patient. We were all complete beginners so it couldn’t have been easy but he taught us the basics and I’m excited to try skiing again. So enjoyed it very much. Thank you

Claudine | February 2025

We spent three wonderful days with Nico from ESI in Chamonix. A 5-star stay! We were a group of four good skiers and Nico helped us all progress in a very friendly atmosphere. We loved every moment of our lessons! Thanks Nico!

Steve | January 2025

Jeremy, today's lesson was excellent; we learned a lot of techniques… without a doubt, the best lesson we've had at the ski resort… I know it wasn't planned, but the fact that Nicolas speaks Portuguese fluently really made things easier! Thank you for everything.

Marcos | December 2024

We had a 3-hour skiing lesson with Nicolas. Everything was top-notch. There is only positive feedback, whether it's the teaching method or the warm atmosphere he brings to his lessons. We all felt comfortable and learned a lot. I was able to acquire many concepts I hadn't managed to grasp before. A perfect course for all levels!!! Knowing that 2 years ago I had taken lessons with another renowned ski school, to be honest they can't even come close to the lessons of Nicolas because I had learned almost nothing with that first school. You can really feel that Nicolas truly does his job out of passion and not out of habit. So that shows in the learning process. Thanks to Nicolas

Faty | February 2024

Great experience with our own private instructor Nico who met all our expectations and made our youngest love to ski.

Anne | February 2024

Booking was easy, thanks Coline. Nicolas, our instructor, was able to adapt to each of us and give us the best advice to help us progress.

Anita | February 2024

My 3 children took lessons with Jeremy and Nicolas for 5 days. They made huge progress in their skiing, with full credit going to both Jeremy and Nicolas. Not only were they experienced instructors, they were knowledgeable of the Chamonix area. Jeremy challenged my eldest to some off piste areas and challenging black slopes. He thoroughly enjoyed it. And my two younger children both learned new skills to help improve their skiing. Thank you to Jeremy and Nicolas, we will definitely be back!

Winnie | February 2024

It was really great to ski with the members of this ski school! They taught me a lot and significantly improved my level, especially by teaching me more advanced skiing techniques. I highly recommend it! 5/5

Kevin | February 2024

Everything was perfect! The teacher was very experienced, patient, and punctual. I definitely recommend it and when I return I will take classes at the SENSATIONS again.

Michel | January 2024

Great courses and immense pleasure! A small-scale structure, so direct contact, pleasant and personalized, and great flexibility. An excellent start from our very first phone call with Jérémy: he immediately understood our expectations!
