“Brilliant Skiing Lessons in Val Thorens”

My wife and kids had a couple of 2 hour lessons with Filippo and they all found it more beneficial than any lessons they have had in the past. He was great with the kids and they really warmed to him. Brilliant and effective teaching methods - my wife improved considerably in just two days. Highly recommended.

Andy W

We had a set of private group lessons which suited our group of six beginners really well. Rachel was a brilliant instructor, teaching us better technique in ways which we could understand and continue to practice on our own. She was also great at getting our confidence back if either of us had a wobble. I would thoroughly recommend lessons with Supreme.

Hay C

We had such a wonderful week in Morzine! We initially booked a lesson every other day but ended up having a lesson everyday of the week we were there as we enjoyed them so much. Nate, our instructor was fantastic and we both really feel our skiing has vastly improved!

Sarah H

Supreme is most definitely to be highly recommended to everyone. The instructors are extremely professional, friendly and talented (with good communication at all times re lesson schedules/ weather changes etc) and are able to adapt to all abilities with ease.

John S

I cannot recommend Supreme Ski School enough! Fantastic service, very helpful, and the most brilliant ski instructor! Daniele introduced both my children to the world of skiing and in less than a week, both of them were nailing blue runs and loving every minute of their holiday. I will definitely be using Supreme Ski again.

Fern S

My instructor Daniele was fantastic. He was a very experience Italian skier who spoke excellent English. He asked me where I’d skied before and for how long, and made sure to find out exactly what I wanted to improve. He understood that I was a nervous skier and gave really good tips on how to improve my technique. By the end of my lesson I was parallel skiing down blue slopes with ease.

I grew up in Rome and I started skiing in an italian ski resort called Terminillo. I use to be a ski racer and have done competitions in the FISI and FIS circuits up to age 18. I became a ski instructor in 2020 and have been teaching in Italy and France since. My favourite piste is Lac Blanc in Val Thorens. Favourite tip: If you are about to fall, don't fight it. Accept your sad, grim, dark fate. I'ts gonna happen anyway, so you might aswell take it like a champ. Jokes aside, snow is soft; relax and you won't feel a thing! My favourite thing about skiing is the tranquillity and silence; but hey, who am I kidding, if you ask me to get to the Folie Douce I love it just the same!

I grew up in a little town on lake Garda, the largest in Italy, called Padenghe sul Garda, in the north of Italy. I started skiing in the Dolomites, my father taught to me how to ski and passed down to me the passion. I was a racer before becoming an instructor, now I spend a lot of my time doing freeskiing and freestyle. My favorite piste in Meribel is La Face. The best advice I can give is to always take care of yourself and the other people when you’re on slopes. I love skiing in the deep snow, it feels like skiing on the clouds.

I was born and raised in Turin, after adolescence dedicated to mtb xc and motorcycling and other sports, I became passionate about the mountains first for snowboarding and then for alpine skiing.I started skiing when I was 11, after two winter seasons, I started using the snowboard. At the age of 15 I ran two seasons in bordercross and giant slalom with the Piedmontese regional committee. After my competitive activity I moved on to teaching.My favourite piste in resort is Masse. If in doubt go for it anyway. The most beautiful part of skiing and snowboarding is sliding on the snow, moving on the mountains and seeing breathtaking views

I come from Varese but since I finished high school I’ve been living in Bormio and still now I’m living there. One of the best places of Italian Alps. I started skiing in Bormio. I started skiing when I was 3 years old with my grandfather, and then he passed the baton to my father, who has been following me until the end of my racing path. I started racing in 2013 when I was 13, and I ended my career in 2022. I’ve been spending all these years travelling around the Alps and even more far away. One of the most comprehensive experience have been the University Games in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. I also had the privilege to grow up technically and emotionally and now that I quit racing I understand the reason why I’ve been racing for all these years. My favourite piste is Combe du Vallon. You won’t have a bad day until you are on snow. It can sound ordinary but the best part of skiing is the first run in the early morning, with the sound of crunchy snow under the feet and no people around you. It feels like doing yoga four the soul.

I grew up in Milan until I was 15, then I lived in Bormio. I started skiing in Isolaccia, near Bormio. I started skiing when i was 3 years old. I competed from 6 to 18 years old. I became a ski instructor right after school because I love this job and this sport. My favourite piste is Face down from the Olympic chair. I enjoy a day of skiing because it is an excellent remedy for any problems 😉 I love teaching children to give them the basic advices to improve and to see them grow up.
