My son was on his first week of snowboarding lessons. Mixed in with other children the same age, they had an amazing week with Tammy. Tammy made them all feel comfortable, made them laugh, showed them how to snowboard, had some great animal facts and quiz. Thank you we will be booking again.

First time on a snowboard and I was terrified. Had three 1-2-1 lessons with Rob, who was unbelievably patient and kind. Having had a tough experience in a group lesson, Rob managed to convince me to give boarding another chance! Straightforward booking system with swift response time. Seriously impressed. Would definitely recommend.

After years of visiting various ski schools and private lessons in lots of locations we found BASS. They offer the best ski lesson experience I've ever had. Having completed their ski school classes, small groups with days off in between lessons so that you can practice (brilliant idea) I started to take private lessons. I had years of bad habits, poor confidence and a plethora of badly taught techniques that I was mashing together and not really understanding or executing very well. My lessons with Mark , thanks for your patience, have unpicked my bad habits, greatly increased my technique and my confidence is restored. Super lesson plans that were tailored to my needs had me finally conquer the dreaded red run. Well worth ever penny I just wished that I'd found them years ago. If you are a beginner start with BASS you'll save yourself a fortune and will learn to ski properly, safely and most importantly you'll have loads of fun.

We have been riding with Simon aka Rebel Alliance now for a good few years! Working on our riding skills from technical on-piste riding, jibbing around in the parks to epic off-piste riding and experiences.
This time was another group off-piste course and after the mammoth amounts of snow that Tignes has had this season, Si delivered yet another off-piste adventure.
One of the things that makes riding with Si so enjoyable is the thought and attention to detail that he provides each member of his group.
For me on this trip, it was all about ensuring I was riding within my fitness capabilities. I broke my ankle a few months before our trip and Simon has been fantastic at assessing the regular updates we have provided him regarding my rehabilitation and fitness progress. Both before and during the trip, Simon has carefully assessed my physical requirements and constantly monitored my capabilities to ensure that I was able to ride safely and enjoyably for the time we spent with him. We discussed potential challenges the day before each ride and together would decide if the proposed riding plan was within my capabilities.
I am thrilled to say that a number of the days we had, I have ridden lines that I didn’t think I was capable of even at 100% fitness, yet alone with a dodgy ankle. A day out in ST Foy which was truly stunning and the rarely ridden & walk out across the bridge at Lac de Chevril are just two of the highlights for me from this week. Challenging and beautiful runs which I was able to complete because of the support that Si gave me.
Simon’s sense of adventure and fabulous sense of humour makes riding with him an unforgettable experience.
We look forward to many more years riding with Rebel Alliance and adding to our already extensive list of memorable adventures with Si.
Thank you Rebel Alliance. :)

A ski lesson with SnowLimits will help you get more from your skiing, ensure progression to the next level and – most importantly – show you a good time!
Reviewed By markmcloughlin - Dublin, Ireland
We sent our three beginner children under 7 for private lessons in Courchevel over 5 afternoons with Andy. We also had 4 adults of mixed abilities take lessons as pairs with Robin also over those afternoons.
Robin gave us some great technical tips, tailoring his advice for the different levels we were at, accommodating us all, and keeping everyone motivated.
Andy was awesome with the kids, extremely patient, engaging, and fun. The children developed very quickly and were over the moon with the medals at the end of the week.
Both Andy and Robin were very accommodating, happy to change the meeting point every day.
We look forward to returning, using Snow Limits again, and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I'm 48 years old and I've been snowboarding since I was 30, I've had lessons with many different instructors across lots of different resorts across the years but hands down the best is Renelle at Fresh Snowboarding.
Renelle's approach is fresh and comprehensive.
I had 3 x 3 hr lessons with my 15 year son last week, we both had different objectives from the lessons and Renelle was able to meet them all
My only regret was that I had not booked more lessons
Hope to ride with you again

Had a great day of off-piste guiding with Youri. All of the avalanche equipment was included in the price. Youri was a fantastic guide and took us on some sick off-piste trails including couloirs and tree skiing. Would highly recommend and will use again if I come back to la plagne.

A towering mountain range on the Italian border, the highest peak of which measures nearly 16,000 feet, making it the second highest mountain in Europe.
Reviewed By tokross - Yardley, Pennsylvania
Truly remarkable. From the tunnel to the town to the mountain, everything is amazing. Well designed to ensure visitors are safe and can appreciate the views. Well worth the excursion even if you only have a few hours.
Two tips
1. The weather at the top is NOT as cold as you would expect. It did not feel like -22. Dress warm but don’t obsess.
2. Don’t assume the wether at the top based upon the weather at the base. The summit is above the cloud line so the views are amazing. Our visit had significant clouds at 2-3000m. It only added to the view from 3,800m.
