We had an amazing time with ES. From my BF not being able to ski at all he is now tackling la chaux. He’s so happy and he wouldn’t have been able to do it without ES looking after us so very well. Also got the nephew proficient from a total beginner too!!!!What a great bunch of talented people. See you next season for sure. Thanks again.

Performance Verbier Ski School

We started Performance based on one simple principle: when you book a ski lesson you should be guaranteed a great day on the hill. It might seem obvious, but we saw how hard it was to really guarantee that level of service and expertise in big, traditional ski schools. So we built a small team of really experienced ski instructors who knew our resort inside out. Well, it’s an idea that turned out to be really popular, so we’re sticking to the same, simple formula – a small team of experienced ski instructors who we know and trust completely. So you’re always guaranteed the best possible day on the hill.

I cannot recommend Performance enough. I've had lessons with Adam this week. Not only is he the most amazing teacher (he needs to be to take me)... he is one of the nicest guys that you could ever meet. Very funny and very encouraging. He has the patience of a saint, but also gave me the kick up the bum that I needed. Look no further than Performance if you want to learn or improve your skiing.

Highly recommend! It was my first time skiing and JC was so helpful and instructive! He kept the lessons challenging whilst making sure to explain everything carefully & clearly. In just 2 hours I was confident enough to go down a blue slope, & after 4 hours I am completely hooked on the sport! Anyone looking to learn how to ski should definitely request JC! Thank you SO much JC, for the very best first-time skiing experience I could ask for!! Renee

Fully qualified (Brevet Fédéral), I’m teaching skiing for the last 18 years. I worked in Canada, New Zealand, Switzerland. I love skiing and I like to share it, it makes my day to see people having as much fun as I do up in the mountains away from the daily stress. Everyone is unique therefore I adapt my teaching and approach to the needs of the learner, it’s all about having fun in a safe environment. Come have some fun!

Great season on the Altitude Futures work and train ISIA course. Brilliant coaches with Sammy and Alex leading the training program catering for all and they really developed my skiing well beyond what I originally expected for taking the BASI level 3 exams at the end of the season. Awesome group of people around and plenty of support throughout with COVID and Brexit happening too. Can’t wait to be back in Verbier next season to hopefully carry on with the Altitude team.
