Authentic reviews

In general we were happy with the course, particularly the all day child care option that incorporated skiing and non-skiing activities. This allowed my husband and I time to ski while knowing that that kids were well cared for and also working on their ski skills. There is room for improvement in terms of making the size of class groups smaller and fostering more friendliness / socialization among the kids that are going to be together for a week. My kids felt a little isolated even though they speak French. A bit more effort to help kids "find a friend" could go a long way in terms of building comfort / confidence. That said, the job of the instructors is not easy - kids from all over the world, new kids every week, etc. The range of options ESF offers is very good.

It would be helpful if lunch club pick up was more flexible. We wanted to collect at 1.30 some days but were not allowed.

The level attained by our children was sufficiently improved after the week. So the value for money is definitely there. The only issue we had was the duration of the lesson. It would be better if lessons lasted 20 minutes longer till 11hr45. Otherwise it's a rush for parents...

This customer gave a mark of 4/5 at ESF Val Thorens in 20/04/2026, but did not wish to leave a comment.

My son, 11 years old, first ski holiday. Got frustrated at lack of progress through the week. Was on reds with me but only managed a couple of greens at ski school.

We had a wonderful experience with our instructors. Florian was superb, keeping us adults learning and having fun for hours and days! Our younger kids were super delighted with Christine and Axel- amazing coaches and lovely people, all of them :)

Maude was a fantastic teacher. She was excellent and it was a shame that I did not have her the whole week

Our two sons aged 4 and 3 really enjoyed their ski school week, especially our eldest who had been last year with E S F and was promoted this year to Sifflote! Location is ideal and I hope next time some of the lessons can extend to other nursery runs eg Western Park.

My wife really enjoyed her private lessons with Alain Recourse.

My daughters enjoyed their first ski experience with the monitors (Anna (?) and Theo (?)). They look
Forward to skiing with them next year!

It may be helpful to have the list of instructors on your Tignes Le Lac website so they can be easily identified / requested lessons with.

Enjoy the end of season and summer!

It can be a little loose at the start of the day with the supervision of the children. Same at the end of the day.
