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.

Another great experience with like minded people. Si always seems to find people that get on and ride well together whilst having a great laugh! If you feel your having one of those ‘off days’ there’s always someone around to lift and encourage you ! Always been a great way to make new friends and you’ll find yourself bumping into year after year.. surely says something! Everyday there was a new adventure where Si would put the skills you’ve learnt on previous courses into practice and taking you places you’d miss out on otherwise. Some great new experiences this year. Thanks everyone involved in making this an epic trip! Can’t wait till the next one...

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!

I had the pleasure of joining Stuart on his bumps course a couple of weeks ago at MK snow dome. Although we were a very mixed group he provided very clear and concise feedback that each of us could work with to work towards our specific goals. I was very impressed how quickly he was able to assimilate what he saw and provide very specific changes that addressed root causes. Its not just a catchy name, he really does FOCUS on each person individually, getting the most out of them.
