February 20, 2022 Marianna Hollaway

The Rhône-Alps town of Morzine is a skier’s paradise, its alpine village atmosphere emphasized by mountain ranges and chalets. Morzine has hosted the Tour de France several times, and is also home to the Avoriaz ski resort, part of the Les Portes du Soleil. The pistes and valleys are the main attractions here, and you may enjoy an après-ski soak in the unique Aquariaz, an indoor tropical waterpark.

Skiwithease really was so easy to deal from the initial booking as Lorna responded very quickly with clear communications & then they helped me ski easily! I had an absolute ball with Miha yesterday - made my holiday (& birthday!)! He had so much patience, improved my confidence massively & his teaching methods were brilliant - definitely the best ski lesson I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!

This is the third set of lessons with the third different teacher, each teacher had a different style, and all three have been excellent, Stefan, JT and Lily, I feel I have came on leaps and bounds, my confidence is much higher and I know I now have the skill set to come down all but the most challenging of runs, I no longer have that feeling of dread Approaching steeper faster slopes, and pretty much only use blue runs to get to the red runs now, I’ve now also sampled a little off piste which was tricky but done in the most relaxing and gentle of slopes. At no time was anyone in the group under pressure, with people moving up and down groups on a daily basis dependent on their abilities and personal comfort levels, I can not stress enough how professional and friendly Easy2Ride are, my Kids and wife have also been under their instruction and they too love and look forward to lessons and coming back.

Billski Ski School

Reviewed By lucyclare2016 - London, United Kingdom

Enormous thanks to Bill @ Billski for turning our children (son aged 11 & daughter aged 13) from complete, nervous beginners into confident, stylish skiers, who after just a few days nailed red runs and were SO excited about their lessons; which they were dreading before their first lesson. To see their enormous smile on their faces after their first lesson said it all. Really cannot thank Bill enough. The kids loved him; he was cool, funny and so brilliant & such an amazing skier and my son said ‘it’s amazing how much you learn skiing as Bill makes it so much fun and you learn without realising it. Billski really made our holiday! Thank you so much.

Reviewed By Scottishgetaways - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Anja's the best! We've just finished our 2nd ski holiday with a week of morning lessons with New Generation, both times we've had a great experience. My 2 girls and I starting learning 3 yrs ago, now aged 10 and 13 the girls are confidently flying down reds with solid technique thanks to the New Generation team. Kids lessons are fun, and they especially adored having Anja last year who makes sure they have the right position and mindset, all through fun activities like dance moves to music she plays on the go, jumps, mini moguls, backward skiing, skiing on 1 ski, always upbeat and always happy! I had the pleasure of Anja as my instructor this year. Anyone who started to ski in their 40s might well appreciate the anxiety that comes as part of the package! By the end of last year's holiday I was starting to get the hang of it but still was very apprehensive at the start of this week. Blue runs were do-able but for the most part not enjoyable! Anja built my confidence by concentrating on the right position with a good bit of positive psychology thrown in, so much so that by the end of the week she had me going down red runs with enough confidence in my technique that I knew I could get down any slope. Knowing how to correct my position and to have control on slopes that would have given me palpitations just looking at before my lessons with Anja feels like a massive achievement - I can't than Anja enough! We'll be back next year (and this time I'm actually looking forward to it!)

ESF Avoriaz 1800

Reviewed By mgouden - Esneux, Belgium

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.!

Reviewed By josD7572QB

Visited for the second year running and it still amazes me!! We went for a MTB holiday and was not at all disappointed! The trails were amazing with views that have yet to be matched. We found some great restaurants and sandwich bars to get quick and easy top quality food in between riding our bikes and exploring the town. Would highly recommend as a couple or family as there is so much to do.
