Freddy W.

The instructor's qualifications have been verified.

Massive thanks to Freddie. I've been skiing on and off for 20 years and built up some bad habits. Freddy was great from start to finish, took me back to some basics and really helped me understand first and start to implement real changes in my skiing technique. He took videos and ckearly explained each topic. The radio earpiece was great, so he could guide me during a run. Highly reccomended if you want to take your skiing to the next level, whether you are a beginner or more experienced.

We really enjoyed our lessons with Freddy. He made us feel really safe and was very patient and reassuring when I had a wobble on Creux. He is a fabulous instructor but he is also really knowledgeable about the mountains. Great to see him play in La Tania. A truly multi talented man!

Hayley booked a total of 6 hours with Freddy

This whole week with Freddy was just a pleasure in everything! Freddy is a man of joy, positive attitude, amazing instructor! He gave us little radios, which was the first time for us. That made the mountain experience so much easier and pleasant. Every day he was taking a crowd of children (some with a different level of skills) to different destinations. Every day was an adventure! Thank you, Freddy!

Kristen booked a total of 4 hours with Freddy

Honestly cannot recommend Freddy highly enough. I had had a really bad lesson the day before (with a different instructor) which had completely knocked my confidence and left me in tears. By the end of the lesson with Freddy I had massively progressed and felt so much more confident in my own abilities. His chatting and singing really helped keep my calm and over come my fears.

Angela Pan booked a total of 4 hours with Freddy

Great lesson for Matt - new to skiing - clear and informative - highly recommend Freddy.

Stewart Thomson booked a total of 4 hours with Freddy

I had a 2 hour lesson today with Freddy and he really helped me with my confidence. Some of my technique needed a bit of work and he gave me a couple of different things to try to get me where I need to be. I'm a slow beginner and so Freddy's patience and regular singing really helped stop the panic :)

Sarah booked a total of 2 hours with Freddy

Freddy was a fantastic choice for snowboarding lessons for a few 20 something beginners. Very punctual, loads of positive energy, great communication (especially with the walkie-talkies). A really nice touch was the list of restaurants Freddy suggested unprompted. Unfortunately we never did get to see him in action with his band over in La Tania.

Peter booked a total of 9 hours with Freddy

Freddy was a great teacher! He had a radio and was able to give advice on the spot. The lesson gave me the confidence to continue and set me up for the rest of my time in Meribel.

Hauke booked a total of 2 hours with Freddy

Freddy was a brilliant instructor! Super encouraging and super fun. Highly recommend him to everyone!

Freddy was super friendly and patient with our group of 6 adult beginners. We had really good fun and by the end of the day, we felt comfortable using our new knowledge on a green run! Freddy also recommended some great beginner spots for us to try out across the 3 valleys, as well as some bars and restaurants - which made our time so much more enjoyable. Thanks!

Adele Saunders booked a total of 3 hours with Freddy

Freddy took us out for a morning of guiding and instruction off piste. We had a mixed group and he was able to moderate the difficulty of the terrain to suit our group with his knowledge of the three valleys ski area. Friendly, fun and we would happily book him again when we are next in the area.

Freddy was such a great instructor. We felt safe and in good hands and we progressed really fast under his tutorage and he just made it so much fun. As we are also musicians he invited us to perform at his local Tuesday night gig. Giving us an unexpected experience we will never forget. Freddy you rock 🤘🏻

Angela booked a total of 7 hours with Freddy

As a group of children and adults of mixed ability we were unsure if we should book group lessons or private lessons for our skiing holiday in Courchevel. Luckily we chose Maison Sport and Freddie (we booked four 1/2 day lessons). The week couldn't have gone better - Freddie was amazing at getting everyone going on the first day and then juggling our requests and mixed abilities as the week progressed. The children thought he was the best and had so much fun with him and he showed them all the best runs. The adults also had a great time and especially enjoyed going to watch the Freddie Wilkens show at La Taiga! Go ahead and book Freddie - you won't regret it!!

Daisy booked a total of 13 hours with Freddy

Freddy is a fantastic instructor! He persevered in very trying conditions and gave us great feedback and technical advice. He has prepared us for a myriad of scenarios and helped consolidate and advance our existing skills. His local knowledge is outstanding, he is enthusiastic and don’t be surprised if he bursts into song! I highly recommend Freddy!

Freddy looked after us for 2 days. Great sessions and Freddy is an awesome teacher. We were 3 absolute beginners and he had so much patience with us. Would definitely recommend him!m. Thanks Freddy boy!

Zein booked a total of 6 hours with Freddy

We couldn´t be happier. Our three kids were with Freddy for five days and now know how to snowboard (they can now ride down all slopes with us) and they have never skied or snowboarded before (they are 8, 9 and 11). Freddy is kind, thoughtful, pedagogic, funny and a great teacher. They learned so fast; we cannot believe it! Highly recommend! Thank you Freddy- we will be back next year <3 Our warmest recommendations/Love from Vendela, Mila & Isabella <3

David Anevski booked a total of 4 hours with Freddy

Our 9 yo son skied with Freddy for almost a week and we are really impressed by all the effort which Freddy invested into teaching technicalities, but also keeping fun and entertaining our son, giving new ideas, planning adequate exploration of the terrain and just making a good company. Thank you so much, Freddy, and all recommendations to anyone considering his services!

jeff richards booked a total of 6 hours with Freddy

Freddy took our three children (aged 9-12) who have been several times and he transformed them into very capable skiers under his excellent tutelage, which included the use of videoing with feedback and live tips via walkie talkie! Knowledgeable, charismatic and engaging, the perfect tutor for your stay in the 3 Vallées.

Freddy was fantastic! We are a family of four, all beginners. Freddy made it simple and helped us learn the basics in no time. I highly recommend booking your lessons with Freddy.

Trent Curtin booked a total of 2 hours with Freddy

Freddy was absolutely awesome. We are a family of 6 beginners in different ages, adults, teenagers and little once, skiing for the first time. We could not imagine that Freddy with his uncompromising dedication, fantastic communication skills was doing the impossible and bringing all of us just in 4 lessons to feel comfortable and independent in the slopes of Merible. We definitely recommend Freddy as a ski instructor for anybody who need one.

Horesh booked a total of 8 hours with Freddy

I had a very fun ski class. He’s a talent guy. Couldn’t thanks enough to his kindness. Recommended to everyone!!!

Supatida booked a total of 6 hours with Freddy

Freddie taught my 9 yr old and another friend's 10yr old son every morning for 4 days in Courcheval. They absolutely loved their lessons with him, were keen to extend the hours where possible, couldn't wait to get on the mountain each morning and were the last to leave the slopes at the end of each day! Freddie was very flexible, approachable, friendly and ideally suited to the two boys. The lessons were full of excitement and their skiing improved enormously. I wouldn't hesitate to book Freddie again the next time we ski. We were only sorry to have missed him playing the piano in the evenings too! Thank you so much for being a super instructor!

Sophie Burton booked a total of 12 hours with Freddy

Best instructor (patient, analyzing, communicative, funny, good in explaining and much more) ever which becomes a real buddy after just one day! Always on time and motivated to show you around. Having said that I can only recommend Freddy and will definitely want him to be my instructor for my next stay in Courchevel!!!

Raphael booked a total of 16 hours with Freddy

Amazing trainer , definitely will book with him every time.

Mark booked a total of 5 hours with Freddy

Freddy is such a likeable person as well as a superb instructor, there is nothing to criticise to be honest. We have been skiing and snowboarding for 30+ years and Freddy is possibly the best all-round personality we have met as an instructor, which is what you need to relax and learn…. 10 out of 10, thank you Freddy and all the best 👍😊

Fraser booked a total of 4 hours with Freddy

Freddy was great and I had a lot of fun skiing for the first time!

Joanna booked a total of 2 hours with Freddy

Freddy was a great instructor and good fun. His catch phrase 'Get on it' was amusing and it didn't mean the apres, it meant getting your weight on the downhill ski!! Much improved after two days and 100% more confident. Would recommend :-)

Freddy is very helpful and and friendly!

Weiwei booked a total of 3 hours with Freddy

As a nervous snowboarder Freddy really helped me gain my confidence. He’s very supportive and when I didn’t feel I could try a new run he guided me very slowly down until I felt comfortable. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Lindsay Gregory booked a total of 2 hours with Freddy

Freddy was amazing at teaching both me and my four year old son. I was terrified and terrible and he made me feel at ease and confident to get further with skiing than I have ever done before. Freddy was wonderful with my son. Highly recommend Freddy and will hopefully book more lessons next year. Thank you :)

Fantastic guide and instructor for my teenage son to conquer the Grand Couloir! Very friendly and encouraging - just what was needed. And then sent through impressive photos and videos of the success. Highly recommended.

Great instructor. Got me from 0 to doing the green slopes on my own in 3 hours. Was able to ski the next three days with my mates. Highly recommend Freddie and he is a very sound bloke on top of it all.

Freddy’s lesson was a lot of fun. He gave me a lot of tips and we worked on developing new skills too. The communication was excellent too. I highly recommend him.

Carmina Cortes booked a total of 2 hours with Freddy

Thank you to Freddy for an amazing lesson. I was pretty much a beginner, having only had one lesson previously on a dry slope. Freddy instantly made me feel comfortable on the slopes and was a great teacher, passing on his extensive knowledge. I felt I progressed significantly, just in 1 day, all thanks to him. Not only did Freddy give great technical advice, but he knew the area so well and it was so interesting to hear all about his time in Courchevel and knowledge of the resort. He gave great advice on which runs I should practice by myself and how to progress further during my stay. The day was tiring, being my first full day on the slopes, but I loved every minute. I had a blast, and I will never forget to "get on it". Cheers Freddy

Kerry booked a total of 1 full day with Freddy

Freddie was great and over the two days I could really see an improvement in my technique as well as increased confidence. I started carving and even went off-piste (something I haven’t done seen my teens!). Not only was Freddie really friendly and a great overall instructor, he is also incredibly knowledgeable of the terrain and le trois vallées, so you feel like you’re having a guided tour as well as a lesson! Will definitely rebook next time we’re in Courchevel and would recommend to anyone really looking to improve their skill, build confidence and have fun!

Antonia booked a total of 4 hours with Freddy

Had a really good few days learning as a small group of beginners with Freddie. Everyone definitely improved. Was also great to watch Freddie perform at the Le Bouc Blanc after one of our lessons - very entertaining!

Michael healy booked a total of 3 hours with Freddy

Excellent instructor. Booked 3 hours for my partner who was a nervous skier. The difference is significantly noticed. Could not recommend highly enough!

Michael healy booked a total of 3 hours with Freddy

Thank you Freddy for a great lesson. After me telling you I had lost my confidence you took me to a nice easy green to build it back up and gave me good tips to make sure I was doing to correct methods. Your knowledge and technics helped me for the remaining few days of my holiday so thank you.

Hayden Collyer booked a total of 2 hours with Freddy

I would highly recommend Freddy for ski lessons. Our group of 5 total beginners were safely able to do green and blue runs after a couple of days despite barely being able to stand up in skis on the first day! Freddy made the lessons fun and relaxed, and was super patient. We also enjoyed Freddy’s piano performance at La Taiga which was an excellent apres-ski evening. We are looking forward to seeing Freddy again for intermediate ski lessons next year ⛷ Thank you so much!

Eoin booked a total of 12 hours with Freddy

An absolutely excellent coach, taking total beginners (one of whom was utterly terrified) and turning them into people who can safely ski down green runs. I haven’t met a more positive, helpful and knowledgable coach. Freddy also gave really helpful advice to the good skier in our party, so is capable of teaching at all levels.

Kevin booked a total of 3 hours with Freddy

We had a great learning experience with Freddy, he gave us some tips and tricks to continue practicing on our own as well. I would highly recommend taking a course with Freddy, who will give you some interesting information about the surroundings as well. We really noticed our progress after taking the course with Freddy.

Céline Peeters booked a total of 2 hours with Freddy

It was my first time skiing and I’m extremely happy with the outcome. Freddy was great to chat with even before we booked and helped us understand all the technicalities including sending us a video of how to carry your ski equipment. He is extremely thorough, patient and makes you laugh while you fall- we felt safe and had an absolute blast while doing so! Would definitely recommend him to anyone coming to ski in courchevel. He also took great pictures and videos for me without me even asking him to do so. P.S. he’s a musician too so you’ll definitely hear him break out into a little song at any given random moment 😂

Rhea booked a total of 3 hours with Freddy

Freddy is unique. That's it. And that sounds as something obvious (because all people are unique) or as too good to be true, unless... you know him. Freddy is successfully pursuing two careers: he is a ski instructor and a musician. And before that, he was interested in psychology and kids development. This gives him unique possibilities. Not only couching you to ski properly but being fun, entertaining and just a brilliant personality to get acquainted with. And when he works with kids, they can't wait for the next day, because not only he teaches them and entertain them, but most importantly he understands and he is interested in getting to know them. You can ask Freddy to teach basics, or coach in more advanced things, you can leave kids with him and be sure they are having fun and getting better, or you can go with Freddy on a freeride adventure. Everything is possible, and fun is guaranteed.

Dmitry booked a total of 3 full days with Freddy

Wow, what an absolutely fantastic instructor! I had beginner snowboard lessons with Freddy, I can already ski but this was my first time boarding and I have never had a better snowsports instructor than Freddy!! So encouraging and friendly, I made so much more progress in a short time than I thought I would be able to. I can't recommend him highly enough, I will be back again myself for sure!!

Rebecca booked a total of 1 hour with Freddy

stanislav kuleshov booked a total of 6 hours with Freddy

Freddy was fantastic from beginning to end, very knowledgeable with all aspects of skiing. Using video analysis of what I was doing wrong, I was finally able to start properly carving my skis around the mountain! Thank you Freddy!! I will be back next year.

Freddy is fantastic with children, he had them all singing along and playing fun ski games in the snow. The kids really enjoyed themselves and cannot wait to ski with him again!

We booked Freddy for week of beginner adult group lessons. He was incredibly patient and made everyone feel relaxed. Even the most nervous skiers in the group were soon making turns and having fun. A fantastic instructor, highly recommend
