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.

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

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.

Reviewed By V_Not_For_Vendetta - Leuven, Belgium

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!

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!
