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.

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.

As a group of complete beginners, we have skied with 4 different instructors from Element so far. Each individual instructor had their own teaching style, but all brought learnings that complemented our continued improvement overall. Will, Guy, Jack and Tom all put us at ease and were great fun to work with! Emma & Lucy were also great with helping us book or amend lessons. They were flexible, friendly, client-centric: can definitely recommend the team! (In fact I did actually recommend them and brought some additional friends to book with the school since our first lessons). Thanks Team Element, keep up the good work!

We met Olly three years ago on a weekend trip to Verbier, ever since then whenever we have come back we have always taken him as a guide. Olly’s style is to pick 1 or 2 things to work on and I always find they have a big impact. Also, somehow he always finds amazing conditions - be your preference on of off piste. Highly recommend!

I spent an awesome day with André who initiated me in the art of splitboarding and riding powder! He has tons of experience and knows the Verbier area like the back of his hand. André proposed an amazing touring trip including descents through the woods in powder. He was super patient, gave excellent advice to improve my off-piste riding, and answered all the questions I had related to technique, gear and safety. So if you're bored with the lift queues and crowds, give splitboarding a try! The Independent School in Verbier is definitely the best place to start!

I had a 5 hour lesson with Raph on a snowy Verbier day. I can ski off piste, but have a lot of problems and falls.Raph immediately suggested a small change which made a massive difference very quickly. Raph also managed to find plenty of safe fresh tracks, and made me aware of the avalanche dangers of the day. The teaching was supplemented by frequent videos. Over the lesson there were about 6 small changes made to my style, which transformed my off-piste ability, and will give me plenty to work on while I'm in Switzerland! Overall highly recommneded
