Authentic reviews Val Thorens

The course was horrible. The teacher did not pay attention to us at all. He did on the other hand pay a lot of attention to his phone. He was not planning on teaching us anything. He explained some basic things but that was it. We spend a lot of time waiting and standing still but for what...? It was a beginners group but for some reason we started with the blue slopes instead of the green ones, why??? I booked for 5 days but after day 2 I quit.

We got the advice from ESF to get skipasses for all ( beginner) kids since day one of the lessons. two kids didn't need them the first two days, our youngest didn't need it for the first 4 days.. so we payed approx 250 euro on skipasses that where not used.. waste of money and poor advice.

All of my children went into the week having not put ski's on before and by the end of the week skiing green and blue runs. They made amazing progress and really enjoyed themselves. My sons thought Daniel was a brilliant teacher. My wife also had a private lesson with Julian and she also said he was very patient and an excellent teacher. Thank you ESF.

The technical teaching was good only Chantal was not very tactical in telling the kids what they did not good. One of my kids was all day disappointed because Chantal did say he didn’t ski well. That can be the case but skiing should be fun during holidays, there are different ways of telling that something is not good.

First days there was a lot of waiting before classes started. Rest was all very good

Really good instructors, bit of organising to get our son in the right group (changed twice) and had to be patient getting to the right group due to so many people and instructors. Once in group everything fantastic.

This customer gave a mark of 5/5 at ESF Val Thorens in 29/04/2022, but did not wish to leave a comment.

We initially start our children in group lessons. There was little organisation, progress or enjoyment. Security was also a concern within the ESF area. After 3 days we left ski school and moved to ESF private lessons, these instructors were excellent, and progress was very good. We were very disappointed with the group lessons and witnessed very young children left unsupervised on the piste. Please let us know if you want more specific feedback/photos.

Even if our son did not understand the instructor, she tried her best to teach him. Thank you!

We were thrilled with Daniel as my the tutor. He took my first time skiing teenagers through their skills and their ability at the end of the week was incredible, as though they had been skiing since a young age.
Thank you, highly recommend
