Having spent 2 days falling over on a snowboard and hating the damn thing, I was ready to thow it down the mountain!! Then my girlfriend and I booked a 2 hour private lesson through SkiCool (only about 90 Euros for 2 of us!), with an instructor named Begnat. After 2 hours of Begnat patiently showing us where to put... More

We had the pleasure of spending the full week with Philip, private lessones for my father-in-law and myself. Philip was VERY nice; we managed to change a lesson's schedule (due to weather). Philip took us onto great slops, adjusting himself to our limits, and pushing through the limites to get us a bit further up from where we were. He... More

I have just completed a weeks snowboard school with the instructor Gael Melet, my wife also used Skicool and had Xavier for ski lessons. The quality of the lessons is certainly some of the best available in the Alps, we were very lucky with the amount of fresh snow each day but both the teachers made our holiday one to... More

Great location, much quieter than the La Plagne side of the mountain with real people who really care. From ski shop to restaurants, everyone really wanted you to have a super time.

We have recently returned from a delightful skiing holiday in Val Thorens, during which we booked private lessons for my wife with Ski Cool. This was a critical holiday for my wife and her future skiing career. She had had a very bad experience in Austria last year, where her instructor placed his own ego ahead of her needs and... More
