We will ensure that you and your entire party are kitted out and can enjoy maximum slope time. Our workshop is also based in Tignes le lavachet, just down the steps from our main shop. As well as servicing our large rental fleet, we provide repairs and servicing to anyone who wishes to give their plank(s) some tender loving care!

2nd year hiring from Tignes Spirit in Lavachet. We are a family of four with two young kids (6 and 3) and we cannot recommend this shop enough. On entering the staff were super friendly and engaging and the kids had a super time getting kitted out by the obviously experienced and knowledgeable staff. All gear was high quality and in great condition and we received follow up emails and texts asking us if everything was okay with rentals and if we needed any assistance with anything. On returning our gear the kids hounded us for a super cool Tignes Spirit hoodie - we relented! We will definitely use Tignes Spirit again next year and highly recommend to anyone seeking a hassle-free and positive ski hire experience.

On a very snowy day, myself and 4 fellow ski friends decided to switch it up with a 3 hour private snowboarding lesson with Jay. We had such a blast, and he was so patient with our mixed abilities. By the end he'd even gained a few converts... a sign of a great teacher. Thanks!

Reviewed By skillsontour

Corinne is an excellent instructor, i was a bit anxious yet she put me at ease quickly and reassured me that everything would be ok! She ascertained my ability and gave fantastic descriptions of what I needed to do to improve being very patient with me throghout. My partner is more confident on the slopes and Corinne managed both our abilities very well, my partner was off practicing in the powder whist I was attempting just to turn down the slope (something i’ve found very difficult) in terrible weather. With Corinne's guidance i was confident enough to go up again and have another go at the dreaded turns!! I would thoroughly recommend Mayhew Snowboarding to anyone who wants to get the most out of the mountains and themselves.

Evolution 2

It was nearly 30 years ago, in 1987, when the Evolution 2 adventure began. At the outset, our passion was the outdoors. Hervé Favre, a ski instructor and entrepreneur, surrounded by 5 collaborators developed a different forward thinking ski school a far cry from the traditional rigid structures that existed at that time. 30 years later there are more than 500 sporting professionals proudly wearing the Evolution 2 colours, both nationally in France and worldwide, each and every one affirming the same philosophies that Evolution 2 was built upon. Men and women converging from different backgrounds.

Booked 5 days of intermediate lessons as a way to return my confidence after many years off the slopes. They surpassed all my expectations and I welcomed the variety of topics we covered across the week from back to basics initially to heading to the snow park and intro to going off piste. Really impressed with our instructor Camille who never lost patience and managed to correct some of the bad habits I came to the class with. Due to the timings and location of the lesson the staff at Evolution 2 also organised transport to the lessons which was greatly appreciated. Overall had a great week of lessons with Camille and evolution 2 and would definitely book again when I go back.
