Visitor comments

  • "Laurence was a fabulous instructor, both boys loved her and progressed fantastically in the week, 1 gaining his 'one star' and the other 'flocon' level." - Trip Advisor
  • "The classes were small (max 5 in both I believe) and the main thing was the boys had a fab time. Thank you Ski Cool." - Trip Advisor
  • "The quality of the lessons is certainly some of the best available in the Alps, we were very lucky with the amount of fresh snow each day but both the teachers made our holiday one to remember. If you are planning a visit to VT requested these instructors for the best tuition available. I look forward to returning next year." - Trip Advisor
