My Boyfriend and I have an intermediate snowboarding level and we booked a 2 hours private session with Fred. It was really great. Fred told us what we needed to improve to better ride. He brought us off-slopes and in the snowpark, always providing great tips. He is really passionate and professional, we highly recommend that school.

The first time we went to Avoriaz with our kids (then aged 4 and 5) we booked lessons with ESF for them and they were randomly allocated Fanny M. as instructor. She is so nice with the kids, they learn a lot and yet have lots of fun! As our kids loved the week with Fanny, we now always as for lessons with her and our kids just love it. When going through the comments left by other users, it probably depends less on ESF as an institution, than on the individuals. All we can recommend is: ask for Fanny M.!

We were a little apprehensive leaving our 4 year old here after some more recent negative reviews since we initially booked last year. Thankfully our experience was very positive and an excellent first introduction to skiing for our daughter. It helped that she had a friend of hers in the same class but credit is also due to their teacher Manue who made a huge effort with the kids to learn and also feel comfortable. Class size was great at 5 kids so good focus per child. The setup and facilities are also excellent for beginner ski lessons - the best setup in Avoriaz for that stage of learning that I could see. I do see where the negative reviews come from with kids crying - some were especially upset - but I don't believe this is a reflection of the school but simply normal separation anxiety. This type of setup is not going to suit all children, especially some of the younger ones, and parents need to be prepared for this and to reconsider whether private tuition is a better alternative or frankly whether their child is not yet old/mature enough to be left. Yes some teachers could be more empathetic but this is a tough one to balance as they have a duty to all the children in their care to teach them to ski. Ultimately we were pleased and our daughter loved skiing after her first week making her way onto the slopes by the end of it wanting more. To manage expectations - this was also due to us spending our afternoons with her to practice. Bottom line - as school I think they are well setup and whether your experience is good will vary based on the teacher but also the temperament and maturity of your child.

Aquariaz has been designed as an aquatic paradise in the mountains featuring lush vegetation and rocks… at 1800m!

At 1800 feet above sea level where the snow stays till the end of April in Avoriaz in the French Alps the biggest surprise is to find that you can be in the tropics! Imagine that when you have been skiing in the freezing cold. This is because of the water experience called Aquariaz , which was built in 2012, which is an indoor warm paradise. It has spurting jets and tiles and rope that takes you down into the swimming area via a Lazy River. This is a great feeling. Jets under the water push you along but it is not too deep, probably just over a metre, and it winds its way around interesting plants and palm trees from the southern hemisphere. My grandsons were absolutely delighted to be there. They were up and down the curly water slides and tubes which were quite safe for 2 year old boys. Parents could choose to sit in deckchairs and chill out in the lounge in the outdoor pool with a Jacuzzi. For the more energetic there are underwater bicycles that have their frames fixed to the bottom. A photographer took some beautiful photographs of the children and myself. All the while there were plenty of lifeguards about. The great thing is that you could look at the view out of the window across the water and its surface becoming part of the mountain horizon. Floors were non-slippery mosaic. Everything was easy to negotiate. I even left my disability scooter just inside the entrance and it was looked after. The lockers were very easy to use as was the disabled toilet. My only real complaint was that there was no café area but you can’t have everything when you are enjoying a South Sea island in the winter sun!
