Another year of skiing improvement from my son. Happy to continue next year.

I dealt with ESF in Chamonix when I was leaning to ski so I had no qualms contacting ESF Samoens for lessons for my young nephew. My emails were always answered promptly addressing any questions I had. I speak fluent French but as I was sharing their responses with my non French speaking sister, I corresponded with ESF in English and this was respected. My fears about my nephew being the oldest or the group size being too big were not realised. It was an excellent experience from first to last lesson. I cannot praise his teacher Leo enough. My nephew loved him and felt safe with him and his group. After every lesson, Leo gave us feedback on what they'd done in the lesson, he recommended where we skied as a group in the afternoon which helped to build both confidence and ability.

It was my daughter’s first time in an organised ski school at the Piou Piou at Samoens 1600. She made great progress during the week considering she was a complete beginner and a very young one at that (just turned three years old!) She settled in quite quickly, which I can only put down to the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the organised learning fun she received whilst there each afternoon! Thank you all very much for not only giving Addie a great first week skiing but also allowing us as parents a few hours off to hit the slopes ourselves safe in the knowledge she was being looked after and was enjoying herself!
