Top-notch care for my 5-year-old daughter. A big thank you to Julien for his support!

I took three morning private lessons in snowboarding with Audrey and it was great. My knowledge and confidence improved day by day (as evidenced by my last descent alone from the summit, where everything went perfectly and I achieved my best descent of the trip, despite the fatigue caused by all the learning I had done). The courses offered a good balance between the fundamentals and playful activities, making the learning interesting while also enabling the acquisition of useful skills. I would not hesitate to take another course with Audrey during our next stay in Flaine, and I highly recommend it to all adults who want to improve their snowboarding skills!

My wife and I are beginner skiers and we took our 4 and 8 year old children on our first family ski vacation, and Jo and Gerald were our instructors. Jo had the unenviable task of making sure our children listened to every instruction, and Gerald had the (slightly easier……) task of trying to teach me some form of coordination (to say the least, my wife is the most elegant). Jo and Gerald were both fantastic. The children were eager to go back because Jo made their first ski experience really fun and Gerald’s relaxed style, while pushing us every day, gave my wife and me the confidence we needed to really enjoy skiing. I could not be more complimentary about them both – fantastic in every way. Thank you.

Great experience, super professionalism A wonderful experience, very good welcome and organization, clear explanations and quick exchanges with the secretariat. My daughter (5 years old), on the other hand, loved the lessons given by Audrey, who managed to put her at ease for her first steps on skis 🎿, thank you for your support and kindness, she was enthusiastic and smiling as she went to your classes.

A wonderful week for my little boy Wyatt (5 years old). He made great progress thanks to Audrey, who is a very kind person. He came every morning with a big smile on his face. My oldest son took private lessons with Quentin and Johan; it was a first for him and it went very well. He was happy with his lessons. Truly a top team! I recommend them without hesitation. I read good reviews and I can only confirm them. Thank you again

Choose the ESI without hesitation I thank Axel and Sébastien, who took care of the children in bronze and silver this week. Despite the complicated skiable conditions, the children saw only sunshine. Axel was brilliant in putting our son at ease on the first day. My daughter, who switched from Philippe to Sébastien, was perfect and more suited to her, without belittling her, and she still got her silver crystal, thank you Sébastien. Thank you for this wonderful stay; the children are delighted as every year for the last 4 years; small groups are ideal for them and reassuring for us.

Highly recommended… We booked a private lesson to see what level of snowboarding we had in mind, maybe book another one or a group lesson. We ended up booking private lessons every day where we were with the same instructor. Gérald was professional, kind and fun. He was very patient with us and made the stay very enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The booking office was also great. Very quick to get back to me. Even offering advice on where to rent equipment. Highly recommend this ski school.
