lessons in Tignes

Skiing at Tignes at Xmas. 3 boys will need lessons - two have one week's skiing experience and one has 4 weeks but is out of practice. Can anyone recommend a ski school (other than ESF, whom we don't like), or maybe a private instructor if this would be a similar price.

I’ve used evolution 2 there and rate them.

I liked Oxygen ski school in Tignes.. less
grumpy instructors than ESF!

We've also had good experience of Evolution 2 in Tignes - never used anything else for the kids. The class size is limited to 8, although dd had one year with just her and another lad in her class which was brilliant. Ds also really enjoyed the Junior and Teen Academy when he was a bit older.

Evolution 2 also, much better than ESF 👍

We used Ultimate Snowsports for private lessons for our 4 year old this year and have already booked for next year. Blown away by them and the whole process.

Have used Evo 2 for myself in the past and also had great experiences.

Would never choose ESF, there’s always a hysterical child at the back in the younger groups.

Thanks, everyone - will contact each one. My daughter loved Austrian ski school but hated ESF,

Another vote for Evolution 2. We've used them a couple of times after the kids point blank refused to do ESF again. You could get them a private group lesson if they're all at vaguely similar level.

Yes loved EVo2. Have also used Oxygen, and would say either better than ESF

Oh gosh we had a lovely ESF instructor for private lessons in Tignes, he was amazing with my kids! I wouldn't write them off.
