We tried skiing for the very first-time in our 30s and so, we were extremely nervous in the beginning. However, Tea was absolutely great at calming us and building our self-confidence. After a week with lessons with Tea and self practice, we can now ski with confidence and most importantly, enjoy the mountains!

Rebecca Hawkins

Our 9 year old son and his friend had Alberto for the week in a small group, they loved him, he was a lot of fun whilst also teaching them loads, they improved a lot over the week. He also sent me a number of videos of the boys plus gave daily feedback which was useful. Thanks Alberto and the office team for a fab week and perfect organisation of the lessons! We’d definitely use again!

Sammo76

I had a fantastic three hour lesson with Tea. She really helped me with my technique and set me up for the rest of the week skiing with my family. Tea was a pleasure to spend time with and full of advice. I would certainly recommend.

We have just returned today from a fantastic week in Meribel. We cannot thank you enough for the experience that we have had with your company. My son aged 4 was with Chiara and Alessandro all week. They were brilliant with him, and me as his worried mum!! The very small groups of 7 to 2 instructors and then 3 to 1 instructor was great for my little boy. By the end of the week he was saying mummy I love Chiara and Alessandro! He really progressed in confidence and ability. They took him on green and blue runs and he went from snow plough to parallel in the week. We did 9 till 1 session. They had a break in the middle. My friends boy, age 14, was with Ghia. He too had a fab week and thanks for moving him up quickly. The ski certificates on the last day were great and the kids were really proud. Also to say Sarah was really kind and great to be around on the mountain and very helpful indeed. Great service. Having done 26 school ski trips I know what is right and what isn't. This was 1st class. Ps other ski schools are slightly cheaper. Don't be fooled. They are 1:12 ratio and their session isn't as long. Thanks again. T.Smith Sent from Outlook for Android

Brilliant ski school! We were a varied group of intermediary skiers, young and old. Personally, I struggle with steep slopes mentally. Tea and Paul not only took care of us well, but the technical advice and coaching really progressed our skiing. Tea got me onto a red; Paul found what I call ‘meaty blues’ - and I enjoyed them!! They took us to some stunning slopes (with some photo stops at our request) that were challenging enough without pushing too far, too fast. My daughter had never been skiing before but was up there, absorbing everything they said and was parallel skiing in the blink of an eye! The admin side was also super efficient. The response time and clarity really helped me select this school. Not only were the lessons amazing but they were also the kind of people you’d love to hang out with! Highly recommend them.

Chloe S

Alberto taught my two boys, 8 and 6, and they learnt so much from him that they jumped up a level in the week they were in Meribel. They also had a fun and enjoyable time whilst learning, skipping off to their lesson every morning. Thank you Alberto!

Vacationer280693

Highly recommend this company, from the get go I had a fantastic experience. Paul gave me a call and we went through all the details, very professional and helpful. At the lesson, Alberto was excellent, my teenagers were very reluctant to have the lesson but after 2 hours with Alberto, the difference in confidence and skill was far higher. He was so friendly and showed my youngest daughter some extra tips too.

Gavapentin

Organised a lesson via the website. Paul was really helpful as the weather meant areas of the 3 valleys were closed. Met with Alberto in Courchevel. He was a very patient, kind man, who made a real effort with my boys. Excellent technical and in delivery. Full of great tips. Highly recommended

Jenny R

Thanks to Tea & Edwardo I am no longer a nervous beginner. I had two of the private 3 hour lessons (one with each of them) and they managed to teach me not only the basics of skiing, but how to enjoy myself while learning (not easy when I was so nervous to start with). I absolutely loved my lessons, they were both extremely patient, gave very clear instruction, and enabled me to have fun while learning, navigating different runs around the resort. I will definitely be using Snow school again when I return next year! Thank you Tea & Edwardo - you were both amazing, a true credit to The Snow School!

Barry A

Great experience for our daughters in Meribel. Gaia and Jacapo were both excellent. Our girls loved the lessons. The booking experience was also very positive. Highly recommended. Many thanks!

Bal

Ski instructor: Alberto Giovannini! A huge thank you to Alberto for the FANTASTIC ski lessons for myself, husband and brother. We booked a small group lesson, and all learnt & progressed with his expertise. The ski school are easy to book with, responsive to emails, helpful and are truly a professional. Most importantly we had a great time during the lessons! We stopped to take photos & Alberto recorded my brother, which was a really nice factor for him. Thank you for being so kind, humorous & professional.

Tommy L

After 5 wonderful afternoons with Tea and Alberto, I cannot recommend The Snow School enough. They were everything we could’ve wanted from ski instructors: not just brilliant teachers, but passionate, and great company too. Our group had an unforgettable week on the slopes and they have played such a big part in that.

Maggie A

The charming, friendly and very professional Alberto Giovannini was an excellent instructor to our friends son, a nervous beginner. Definitely recommend.

Ed D

We booked with the Snow School private lessons for our 10 year old daughter to get her back up to speed with skiing (thanks to COVID we haven't been since it hit) The snow school were super easy to book with, provided fast and easy communications. Tea, our daughter's instructor was amazing and made her feel at ease from the very first lesson. Our daughter's skiing over the 4 half day lessons accelerated rapidly. She was highly competent on blue runs and able to take on red runs after her time with Tea. I would highly recommend the snow school, and we will be using them again when we visit Meribel next year.

Murphyabbie

The Snow School are THE BEST. The nicest people, a family run business that truly know their stuff and give the best advice to make the most of your trip! Would recommend to everyone.

FhamFamily

We have a fantastic time offpiste skiing with Alberto and Mike. Great route and very enthusiastic instructors! Couldn’t have been more fun!

kat4dee

We shared a private lesson and our instructor was Alberto. Alberto is a fantastic instructor and we not only improved our confidence and technique, we also had hear fun. I can highly recommend The Snow School and Alberto.

Katie C

We booked two lessons with The Snow School not long before we was going skiing. Booking was super easy and the team responded very quickly. Paul, our instructor was really friendly, great help and gave us good instructions. We really enjoyed both lessons and would book again with The Snow School.

Grainne C

Alberto was an amazing instructor- great fun and imparted knowledge in an easy to understand way. He found some great snow off piste. I’ve skied for many years and he definitely improved my skiing. The Snow Co were easy to deal with. Will be back.

Fearless15790438677

We are beginners to skiing so booked five lessons. Our instructor was Tea and she was amazing, very encouraging and patient. Tea always made sure we were skiing safely and was there when we needed help. We would thoroughly recommend.

Claire G

Alberto was incredible with our children (4years old), on Monday they were total novices and today (Friday) they are skiing down blues and greens having an absolute blast! Such a great guy, we couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you!!!

Charlotte R

Our two 4 years olds had the most amazing week learning to ski with Alberto. We cannot believe what he had them doing after just 3 days. Incredible! Alberto was so kind, patient and really good fun with the kiddos. We can't thank him enough. They are missing him so much!

Catherine

I had a three hour private lesson with Jacob and had a great time - he really helped increase my confidence and pointed out a few key elements to focus on that made big differences, thank you Snow School!

Ginny C

I am honestly delighted with the private lessons I had from the snow school. Jacopo was fantastic, I had some very basic ski skills from last season from another school. Changing to the snow school this year was the best move, Jacopo was incredibly patient and transformed my ability! He taught me so much, built my confidence and I am so thrilled at how much I have improved under his guidance. Highly recommended the school and Jacopo. See you next year

Daniela B

I’m at beginner level and took lessons with Tea and Alberto. They were very knowledgeable as well as very good at identifying my errors and where I needed to focus. By the end of the 3 days I had improved a lot! I’ve also taken lessons with other schools and I have to say Tea and Alberto are the best instructors I’ve had lessons with. Highly recommended!

Reesy001

Excellent ski lessons for the week with Tea. Our 11 year old son improved massively during the week. He started off having had beginner lessons at the Snow Dome but quickly progressed to parallel turns and was comfortable skiing Greens and Blues. Top marks to Tea for teaching him while making it great fun. Cannot recommend enough. We will 100% be booking again next season!

Dawn G

We had a fabulous week on the slopes with Tea she is a brilliant instructor and really helped us progress and build confidence! We would definitely book her again and we will definitely be back next year!

Paradise53928977827

Had a great time at ski school with Thea our instructor. She has been absolutely excellent, very patient and goes out of the way to look after us. I was very nervous at the start of the lessons but her calm and reassuring nature helped me progressed and improved my confidence.

Andy G

What a great experience, we had a brilliant week with our instructor Tea. Confidence on the slopes boosted! Thanks will be back!

peter c

Paul responded immediately to our initial request, which we only sent to him the day before!! Our guide was brilliant, Alberto made contact with us the day before with really clear instructions on the meeting location - without doubt we would use him again. So flexible, we’d made a last minute request to bring our dog, thinking it wouldn’t be possible and he was totally relaxed. Me and my wife both really enjoyed the experience chatting on the way up with Alberto, who had great local knowledge on the best spots for us to hit during our honeymoon. A big thank you to Paul, Alberto and the rest of the team!

Excursion02422261611

I had Tea as my instructor and she was amazing. I had never even put a ski boot on before and by the end of the 4 hours I had completed 2x green slopes with her. Tea went way above what I expected and I would definitely recommend. I will most likely book again for a morning on my next visit. Thank you Tea xx

Matt R

Booked a days lesson for my daughter. She had skied for a week 2 years previous and this was a refresher. She was on Reds by the Tuesday.

john l

An excellent lesson. Thoughtful and just the right amount of focused tweaking to our technique. All with good humour. We learnt a lot and had fun.

Peter A

Had a week of off-piste guiding with Albi. Loved exploring new areas and hiking up the mountain, even if at times I was knackered. Albi was great at helping me improve my off-piste skiing and even showing me some techniques for the park. Would highly recommend!

Sheila A

We have skied with the Snow School on a number of occasions and always had a very good experience- this year was the best ever. Alberto was our instructor for the week. He was outstanding. He skied off piste with some of the family and knew where to find the best new snow but was mindful of each person’s ability so that they all had a fabulous week. When he was not doing off piste he skied with me and gave me confidence to get back on my skis after damaging my knee in a previous accident Alberto is the best instructor we have ever had.

ALEX S

Great ski training for my daughter in Courchevel La Tania France. She really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thank you Paul and The Snow School.

Charlotte A

We had such a fun week skiing with Albi! He took us to do some awesome off piste and was also great when skiing with our mum who prefers the on piste stuff. It’s clear how much Albi loves the mountains and wants everyone else to enjoy them as much! Couldn’t recommend Albi and the snow school more highly!

Casey T

My children (aged 7 and 8) did 3 lots of four hour private lessons with Paul. Although it’s not cheap it was amazing for them and well worth it - not only did they progress loads but they had a brilliant time and skied all around the courcheval area even having some safe adventures in some off piste areas Paul knows well as he’s been teaching for 20 years. Paul was very kind and helpful with them and we felt like they were in safe hands. It also helped that he has two children of his own of a similar age.

George A

Spent the week off-piste with Alby. Great guy and had loads of good skiing. Very knowledgeable about the area, snow conditions and technique. Would definitely recommend!

g0kani

Had a lesson with Alberto who was a fantastic instructor for beginners and really helped us learn at our own pace. He was very patient, friendly, knowledgeable and helped us gain confidence throughout our lesson. The service and booking process was also very easy and great. Would highly recommend!

April B

The instructor provided was extremely professional and skilled. He was patient and helped me learn to ski very quickly. He helped me to master my own skills and enabled me to ski on blue slopes safely by the end of the week. I started as a level 0 (had never skied before) and I left the resort being able to ski different types of slopes with confidence. I would highly recommend this school.

Robert G

My two children had never skied before, at the end of five days of four hour lessons they could ski Green and Blue runs. The kids got on tremendously with Jacob (Ski instructor), they always wanted to go into ski lessons and they had nothing but warm and positive words about the lessons. I personally liked the fact that the group sizes are smaller, meaning all kids on the group got attention and nobody was left behind. The kids cannot wait to get back on the slopes and The Snow School made sure their first ski experience was a wonderful one!!

Victoria C

As I’ve got older, fear has set in and my kids have sent me numerous Tik Toc’s of mothers going rather steadily down the slopes… Thanks to the wonderful Edwardo I proved them wrong!!! He was utterly brilliant and taught me soooo much… His ability to cater for all 3 of us with different abilities was fantastic… Having initially been sceptical about deviating from ESF I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them and will definitely be booking for next year..

Liz H

We booked a couple of 1:1s with Paul, one for me and one for my teenage son. I worked on perfecting my turns and technique and now feel much more in control and have much more confidence. My son had a blast off piste and through the powder - a really fun, yet challenging morning. Paul is an awesome instructor, easy to follow and understand, super patient and great fun. Top scores for The Snow School and highly recommended.

Ian H

We had a fabulous week skiing in Meribel. Our son had lost confidence in his skiing ability and we booked him into The Snow School as they were able to offer small groups with kids around his age. The help and support provided by The Snow School when we started to book online was amazing. The online chat gave us a huge amount of useful information and was incredibly efficient and responsive. The follow up phone calls with Sarah provided really detailed information and helped us work out where the meet up point was relative to our apartment and whole load of other useful information. Sarah was super friendly and helpful and the experience when we arrived in France more than lived up to expectations. Our son's ski instructor was Tea. She was so positive, supportive and always had a smile even when the conditions were a bit horrid. She transformed our son from an apprehensive, reluctant skier to someone who had regained his confidence and massively improved his ability, and of course he had masses of fun thanks to Tea's approach. Our son didn't really want to go skiing this year, but after a week with Tea he was asking if we could come back next year. I would 100% recommend The Snow School. If it was possible to give a 6 star review, I would have.

miserable_jock

Just had a great week skiing in Meribel. Our son had lost his confidence in skiing and we looked for a ski school which could offer small group lessons with kids of a similar age and ability. We found The Snow School online. From the outset they have been fantastic. The online chat while we were booking was incredibly helpful, and follow up phone calls with Sarah were excellent. Sarah was super-friendly and guided us through the booking while providing lots of detail on where the meet up point was and how to get there from our apartment. She totally understood the needs of our son and reassured us that the teaching experience would be ideal for our son who had skied before but was very apprehensive about going skiing after a break of several years. The experience on arriving at The Snow School completely lived up to expectations. The instructor, Tea, was very positive and supportive and always had a smile even when conditions were pretty horrid. After only one lesson our son's demeanour changed from nervous to much more confident and by the end of the week he was skiing better than ever and had a huge smile on his face. He had such a good time and achieved so much thanks to the care and support that Tea provided. Before the holiday our son simply did not want to go skiing again, but a week of lessons with Tea transformed him and he is asking if we can go back to Meribel next year! In the past we have had mixed experience of ski schools. As one of the less confident skiers in a group our son was often not given the attention and support he needed and was not able to develop his ability on skis. I am sure this contributed to his lack of enthusiasm to return to skiing. His time with The Snow School completely turned that around and we saw his ability grow with every lesson. I can't praise Tea and The Snow School enough. If it was possible to give a 6 star review I would give The Snow School 6 stars!

Zoe N

My 3 children had 3 x half days private lessons with Paul! They loved every minute. They learnt so much in a short space of time . Paul was so patient with all of them being different ages and some more confident than others. They all had the best week and can’t wait to come back and have more lessons with Paul.

Anne

This is the second year we have used snow school for our 3 children and they love it. The instructors are always lovely and very welcoming. One of our children has adhd which we had diagnosed last September and his instructor Alberto was amazing with him. He spent a little more time with him to make sure he kept focus and that he was safe. Our older child moved up groups away from his siblings this year and was made to feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend this company and plan on using them again next and subsequent years 😊

Mark

We had an excellent experience with Paul - there were 3 different abilities but we’d only booked a single 3 hr. session for 3 days. Quickly realising this wouldn’t be very productive, Paul suggested we do 1 hr. pp; this ended up being a great suggestion and everyone got what they wanted.

Oksana G

I am grateful for the fantastic 3-hour ski lesson with Paul. I had been stressed about skiing, but in just one lesson, he taught me how to stop correctly and maneuver down from the hill, boosting my confidence. I can clearly see progress after just one lesson. 🙏

Peter K

Chiara, our instructor for the week was brilliant. Clear instruction and words of kind encouragement meant that we made great progress during every lesson.

Monize N

Great Instructor, took care Of the whole family, helping each one individually. The booking is also easy and effective.

txxxxt

Paul was the guide for our children this week, they really enjoyed and made significant progress. Thanks a lot Paul much appreciated!1

Hannah S

I am a complete beginner and Paul was fantastic with me. He quickly eased my nerves and made me feel relaxed and confident on the slopes. He had lots of patience with me and gave me clear instructions. I improved massively over the 3 lessons.

Kerri_EJK

I was particularly looking for a smaller ski school and The Snow School were excellent. Very responsive from my first enquiry and ongoing support from the admin team. I had the lovely Tea for morning lessons in Meribel. As a beginner in my 50s I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. She was very encouraging and supportive - I was surprised at the progress I made, a great introduction. Would very much recommend.

Lauren M

Found The Snow School online and booked because of the good reviews. I was heading to France for a week of skiing with friends but have always wanted to try snowboarding so decided to try a full day of 121 tuition to properly get a taste of it. The communication with The Snow School was a little slow and unresponsive at times but that said, they were very accommodating of me needing to change the date of the lesson the day before and I can't fault the tuition itself. Alberto Giovannini was my snowboard instructor and he was extremely patient with me. There hadn't been any new snow for a couple of weeks making the ground pretty solid and after a couple of hard falls, I didn't want Alberto to let go of me. Despite that, I had very few falls and achieved much more than I expected to in my first day. Alberto is accomplished at skiing and snowboarding so if you're going from one to the other, he's a good tutor to have as he can communicate the differences which makes it easier to adapt. Overall, very happy with my experience and will continue with snowboarding. (And skiing!)

Georgina P

I had a brilliant experience with The Snow School. I had Jacopo as my instructor, he was incredibly kind, patient and a very skilled teacher. I had not been skiing since I was a child, over 15 years ago, and was always terrified of skiing. By the end of 5 mornings of lessons with Jacopo he had built my confidence enormously and had taught me how to do parallel turns and get down a run with control. He made lessons really fun and he always had a smile on his face! I am so happy with how much I progressed and I will definitely be coming back next year thanks to the help of Jacopo! Thank you!

Nicholas H

As a newbie to skiing Jacopo (the instructor) really built my confidence over the 5x3 hour morning lessons we had together. Before coming I'd had a few tries on dry and indoor snow slopes in the UK so could do a basic snowplough. Through the week we progressed onto parallel turns and building speed on trickier terrain (mainly green runs in Courchevel). We had just 2 of us in the group adult lessons so lots of time for Jacopo to focus on each of us. He was highly supportive, providing lots of tips and a fun guy to learn with. I'm going to return next year to properly conquer blues! It's definitely worth spending the money on lessons

Stephen M

My son aged 7 and friends son aged 6 went for mornings group lessons with Alberto. Lovely chap with a natural affinity for children and he got our kids from no ski to gentle blues within a week. They had a great time! Would highly recommend!

Deb R

I had three two hour sessions with the lovely Tea. I had never put on skis before and she helped and coached me through it all. From helping me up off the snow when I fell to comforting and encouraging me when I felt I could do no more. She was amazing. And while skiing definitely didn’t come naturally to me I will give it another go purely based on Tea and the teaching that she gave me. Highly recommend. Nb: communication from the company was also very good and helped put my mind at ease even before we got to France.

Flyer62035144165

Alberto had he work cut out with me. Prior to arriving in Meribel I had had 6 hours of instruction at an indoor slope in the UK so we were basically starting from scratch. I had 4 x 2 hour private lessons with him. He was incredibly patient, gentle and held my hand for as long as I wanted. Although I often felt frustrated with myself Alberto was never anything other than encouraging. On my first lesson he told me "snow boarding is like ballet" I had no idea what he was talking about but by the end of the week I got it. I still have a little way to go with my confidence but Alberto helped me find the joy in snowboarding and I'm actually looking forward to getting back to the slopes to put everything he taught me into practice. I couldn't have made it through the week without him. TIP: take a snack and some water. It can be quite tiring if you're doing lessons everyday.

peterjanson

We had a great experience with Tea, lovely ski instructor who took us all over 3vallées. Went from blue, to red with great confidence.

Victoria P

Our experience with the Snow School was great from before booking and discussing our requirements right the way through to completing the lessons. Alberto our instructor was so patient, friendly and informative. He’s a great instructor and we feel lucky to have had him teach us over the course of the week. He took us to some great slopes and taught us in mixed conditions. He gave us tips about technique to give us confidence to ski faster. We had a fabulous time and have advanced our skiing, and that was down to Alberto! Hope to see you again.

jaackriley

Jacob took me from a someone who was scared of anything that went even remotely steep to someone that was confident and comfortable. After a fall on the first day of my holiday I had Jacob for 3 private lessons in the afternoon. He was so patient and made building up my confidence his priority. He would cleverly film my skiing from behind and then we would watch the videos on the chair lift and he would point out areas for improvement. It was a game changer. It meant I could see exactly what needed doing on my body and not just copy him all the time. He was always on time and prompt and has put me firmly back into the remind enjoying skiing. I couldn’t thank him enough.

jill

Had 2.5 hour lesson to help with parallel skiing. Instructor called Ed was friendly, really helpful and provided some great tips. Would recommend !

Will R

I had an excellent private lesson from Alberto, I’ve skied reasonably well for a while now tackling most pistes, but I knew my technique wasn’t efficient. Alberto gave me lots of small adjustments to make, and best of all he gave me just 1 key thing to focus on depending on the conditions of the run, his approach let me slowly adapt my technique rather than trying to change it all at once.

Jayne S

My family had a fabulous time with The Snow School! Tea got my daughters and husband off to a fantastic start and my daughters still talk about Tea as one of the highlights of their holiday! Then my husband continued to learn a lot whilst also having a fun time with Jacob and my daughters joined a group led by Alessandro where they continued to progress. Thank you to the entire team, on the slopes, in the office and especially Paul for giving us a number of options to choose from when we were a mixed group arriving mid-week and enabled us to get started immediately.

Charlotte B

We went to Courchevel over the Christmas holidays with our two boys and used The Snow School as ski instructors for our boys (who are 8 & 10). The communication was great - friendly and quick to respond. The instructors, Alessandro and Edoardo, were amazing - super friendly, great communication, professionals and overall excellent teachers! We could see how the boys had a massive progress after their lessons. And, most importantly, they had so much fun! They are now asking to only have Alessandro and Edoardo as their ski instructors in the future! Thank you so much, we will definitely recommend and use again.

Anna B

4 Aussies with no ski experience can now ski!! Thanks so much to Chiara at the Snow School for her patience, guidance and helping our youngest Lily to build confidence! What a fab week, we loved every minute and have made a lifetime of memories!!

Zoe D

Being a beginner and only having had one holiday previously I was very nervous. After the initial meeting point at a Meribel Centre being quite traumatic (just get the bus if you’re beginner!) once I met Jacopo I was instantly reassured. We had 4x 3 hr lessons and he was so patient, encouraging and a great teacher. I’ve improved so much over the week and felt very empowered by a brilliant set of sessions with an excellent teacher. I’m further into being an actual skiier and so thankful for the brilliant sessions with Jacopo. He’s an asset to The Snow School and highly recommend. Thank you Jacopo for a brilliant week!

Екатерина Р

I had my lesson with Alberto, even thought I wasn’t a beginner, he made the lesson incredibly interesting and challenging at the same time. I’ve learn new techniques and improved existing skills. Highly recommend this school

Louise P

Following a ski accident at easter I was very nervous about returning to the slopes, however I was very luckyto have Alberto as my teacher. He was very kind, patient, funny and the most excellent teacher. Always keeping an eye on the slopes around me and making me feel more relaxed. His lessons were always fun and Alberto has extensive knowledge of all slopes and great at chasing the sun! By the end of the week I’d gone from the most anxious student to carving! And as Albi says , “the lines don’t lie”. A wonderful teacher, I couldn’t recommend him highly enough! Would most definitely have his lessons again!!

Steve M

2 hour lesson with Danny who was a good teacher...and worth the investment. Would recommend a lesson with this company.

bhpservices

Tea our instructor was fantastic. Professional and friendly. Spoke brilliant English. Thank you again

BoardingPass760337

My 2 boys (aged 9 and 10) had the pleasure of attending Snow School over Christmas. They had a fantastic time whilst really progressing their skiing ability. The instructors are great with kids and we were very comfortable in knowing our boys are safe with them on the slopes.

David V

From start to finish these guys were great. Very easy to book online, my two kids aged 9 and 7 had never skied before, booked them into a class of six max. Comms prior to arrival was excellent, knew where to meet etc. my kids, Jack and Amelie, happened to have the owner as their instructor, Paul, and he was joined by his wife Sarah. They were great with the kids, and after the first day (of a weeks morning lessons) had both of them able to ski down green runs with snow plough turns. Class was actually only 4 kids, and I was amazed at the kids progression throughout the week. Will definitely use them again when we come back next year, and can’t recommend these guys highly enough for kids of all ages and abilities. Family run business run the right way.

Graeme Symon

Originally lined up to teach my daughter snowboarding, the timing was not great on my part. Alberto had no issue swapping the student to myself and we had a great three hours and he tweaked my very old style, which was much needed. The whole service at short notice was excellent. I would book again without hesitation. Thank you.

Fiona W

Chose The Snow School due to the small group sizes and English instruction. We had a brilliant experience. Great communication before we left and whilst in Meribel. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The kids loved their instructor (Alberto) - great balance between fun and learning. Kids ended up in a group of four which was amazing for school holidays. Would definitely use again.

Avital J

Communication from the english team was excellent before we booked and leading up to our trip. Alessandro taught my daughters (age 10 and 8) for 5 days in Courchevel - he was very calm and patient, listened to how they were feeling and helped them become more confident and proficient in their skiing. They also had loads of fun! Its not the cheapest Ski school on offer but the small class sizes and quality of lessons meant I felt it was value for money.

Travel Lover

The Snow School is responsive and clear in its booking arrangement. Thanks Paul and his team. We are fortunate to have Tea and Chiara as our instructors for 4 days. We, a family of 4 spilt into two teams as our 2 big boys are at intermediate level while we couples are just better than beginners. All of us found these 4 days of skiing enjoyable, rewarding and safe. Les3 Valles is really a beautiful ski areas where different levels of skiers can find your scenic slopes to enjoy. Tea and Chiara brought us to different slopes so that we could fully enjoy the variety of slopes and scenes in the Valles. They were patient and used different approaches to help us improve our skill and challenge ourselves safely and confidently. It’s really a wonderful skill experience in Les3 Valles with Tea and Chiara from Snow School!

Susie M

My best lesson ever. Paul very knowledgeable and confident skier which helped my improve my abilities more than I thought

audrey l

Alberto was an Angel ! He gave lessons to our 7 years old son, and beyond his kindness and professionalism, our son was eager to ski more and more each day and very enthousiastic about it. It was hard to take him away from the snow and harder to say goodbye to Alberto who is now the major reason we will come back ! Thank you again for everything ❤️ Alberto gave also my 15 years old son a lesson for technic which was very appreciated as well. See you next february for sure !!! Allan & eytan L.

Anna S

I had such a great experience with Paul and The Snow School - I have finally (finally!!) found my confidence with skiing and absolutely loved it after my lessons. I initially booked two private morning sessions with Paul and then immediately booked a third to try and cement my technique. Paul is patient, thoughtful and calm - I learnt an awful lot from him. I would definitely recommend The Snow School over other ski schools (I have used them in the past) but I think the personal touch wins out here. Thank you!

We decided to use Snow School after a terrible experience with ESF where they left our 8 year child at the bottom of a lift when he had pass issues in the queue, then lied about where he was- after the instruction has simply walked off and had to be called back to be asked where our son was! Luckily he found his way back to our apartment. So we booked our boys in with White Storm for a more English focused and smaller ski group. Their communication was excellent and then structured, Julia was brilliant with my boys. She brought their standard up whilst making things fun. I will definitely consider using them again. Only issue- dark green jackets - really hard to spot on day 1! And that is all I can pick up on. I would recommend any British to use them over ESF.

We booked our 3 children in for 3 hour ski lesson for 5 x days. The children absolutely loved it and were skiing on the blues by the end of the week. Thank you so much Edwardo for you patience with them. Also we book an adult ski lesson for one afternoon with Gilia which was brilliant. I would really recommend the snow school . I would say this company is better then the larger ski school due to them being large groups and this being more personal. We have made the best memories - thank you

Our 9 year old had the most fantastic experience with the Snow School in Meribel. Her instructor, Alberto, was superb and struck the perfect balance between lots of fun in the snow with some serious ski tuition. She made some lovely friends in the group too. Really recommend

Great team from both Paul and Alberto on the mountain to all the others behind the scenes. All questions answered promptly on email and tuition was second to none.

2nd year using The Snow School for a week for our kiddos, aged 7 and 10. They loved being with the instructors, Alberto has such a wonderful way teaching our daughter and the class, and Angelica was super with giving confidence to our son and helping him to take on a black run this year. We were nervous this year as our son was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, The Snow School took on his care in their stride. Top tip - use their code for ski rental discount! Their lessons I’ve the week enabled us to cover the 3 valleys on our last day. Great instructors.

We had lessons for our two teenage boys. We had lessons last year too - with Alberto - and we’re lucky enough to have lessons with Alberto again this year. Our boys had a great experience and learnt lots - Alberto was always on time and accommodating to help us get as much out of our day as a family - thank you and see you next year

Our two boys (4 and 7) had a fab week with Alberto. He was really patient with them, gave lots of great tuition but most importantly made sure they had lots of fun. They didn't stop talking about him all week! As a parent I felt very comfortable that they were in safe hands. We'll be rebooking for next year! The office were also great, quick replies to emails and very helpful. Big thanks.

Chloe S

Our children (5 and 8) had a great week of lessons with Eduardo and the team! Our eldest even said that he wished his 4 hour lessons were longer as they went too quick!

Sophia Bullock

Highly recommend the Snow School for private lessons. From initial contact with Paul, through administration and then our lessons, I could not fault them. Our instructor Eduardo was fantastic! We were a group of differing levels and he managed to teach us all new techniques. He was patient & encouraging - I was the only beginner in our group and he taught me from nursery to blue slope in a week. Excellent.

Edd D

We had a brilliant lesson with a fun and engaging instructor. She was able to balance our abilities (although similar), narrowing in on individual areas of improvement. Showed us some of the best runs across the 3 valleys!

Our second time using the snow school for private ski lessons for our children (aged 10 and 12).They were able to offer the same instructor Guilia which made my kids so relaxed and ready to take over where they left off. Guilia was an amazing instructor and now my kids are better than me after only two ski seasons. They can easily follow us down any blue or red slope thanks to her coaching. She was so fun and relaxed that they jumped out of bed to get to their lessons every morning. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend the snow school!

Ben was a great teacher - very friendly, knew his stuff and how to get it across. Would definitely recommend.

Rebecca Hoffman

The Snow School were fantastic, the office were always super quick to respond to my queries and happy to help in anyway they could. Both Edoardo and Paul were brilliant instructors - cannot recommend this company highly enough!

We had the pleasure of Alberto (Alby ) for three days . We are middle aged skiers who have never had a lesson in our lives and were full of bad habits , frustrations and decreasing confidence as at age takes its toll . Alby was charming and displayed a level of expertise whereby he managed to explain the mechanics of his technical advice and how they would improve our skiing . There was never a dull moment , Alby managed to make our time a totally enjoyable experience whilst at the same time beneficial to our skiing . My wife was considering making this her past ski holiday, however following Albys’ help we have now booked for next year and will without a doubt enlist Albys’ help . A wonderful ski coach who I would 100% recommend to anybody. Thank you
