Having done lessons in the UK at places such as Xscape we wanted to have a private lesson for our first family skiing holiday. I found the website quite hard to navigate and ended up emailing to book our lesson. The response wasn’t as prompt as I would’ve expected but then we arrived to resort I can understand why as they have hundreds of lessons on daily. Unfortunately due to a significant flight delay we had to move our lessons. Again I emailed and the response had gone to my junk but the next morning got a call to say they could move the lesson to the afternoon due to the circumstances. We got Thomas as our instructor and he was fabulous. Showing us how to successfully use the chair lifts and gondolas and taking us down the green runs and showing us new techniques in a short period of time (2hrs 30mins) . Was great value for money with a wealth of knowledge and would highly recommend to anyone coming to Alp Dhuez. Also witnessed great patience and lessons amongst the younger children and all instructors are extremely caring and nuturing .

I had amazing ski teachers (5 in total in 2 weeks). The only very bad thing is that there is not enough levels : you can be in level 3 (confirmed skiers) and it goes too slow, or you can be in same level with expert skiers and it becomes too difficult to follow... I had the problem in various classes. It's also a pity you can not change group and teacher if it does not suit you (after all, you spend the whole vacations with the teacher and the group). During my second week, I did not even go to my morning lesson, because the group was not friendly. In the afternoons, I had to let it go because it was too difficult for me (but very friendly) : I changed to the only other group available, which was just above beginner level.... so did not use a lot a whole week of classes !

Excellent ski school. Rémy, my snowboarding instructor, is fantastic. Very patient and skillful. Really great experience there. He made the lesson fun and helped me develop my skills significantly. I’d highly recommend ESF Alpe D’Huez and Rémy T.

We had 5 private lessons with Jean Pascalle and it was the best thing we could have done to improve our skiing. We started off as beginners and with Jean Pascalle's help we ended our holiday being able to parallel ski. He was very patient with us and very kind. Due to his teaching and the suitability of the resort for beginners, we're all ready planning our return trip. Hopefully Jean Pascalle will be able to help us continue to improve.

I had an accident in the snow in 2023 that took me to hospital for a full week. This year I was determine to learn how to ski, however I didn't realize the big trauma my previous accident left me. I was very lucky to find Remy T, he is a great coach! very professional and fun but mostly very experienced in my opinion. I had my first lessons with him in January this year and it was so good that I looked back for him when I returned last March. From getting frozen in the first lesson and in panic from my previous accident, to not only learning how to ski but being able to do a Green with parts of Blue and absolutely loving it! He pushed me and challenged me but I also felt safe under his coaching. Absolutely amazing experience, highly recommended.
