    They share their experience

    Our 4-year-old son skied for a week in a small group with Emmanuelle and he loved the experience.

    He has acquired a lot of skills in skiing. Emmanuelle was very kind to him, excellent communication with the parents as well. The children go straight onto the slopes, take the lifts, and progress very quickly. We can only recommend the ESI in Val Cenis. .

    ESI is a school with beautiful human values and a positive attitude. It prioritizes quality with small groups. I am still very satisfied with the support we receive. Thank you to Maxime for giving me back my confidence in my skiing skills so that I could have a great week with my family. Happy season to the entire team at ESI Val Cenis! …
