A very good lesson for a beginner looking to improve. Quickly built on previous lessons from different instructors. Has a nice relaxed manner.

I had a three hour lesson every morning with Francesco, he was very flexible as to where we met and the lessons themselves were superb, he quickly worked out my learning style, visual and with exercises and tailored the sessions to suit. I’ve made the move from 25 years of snowboarding to skiing, which has raised it’s own issues and Francesco was both understanding and patient. I made good progress and could not recommend more highly.

Great lesson! Really helped with my confidence and technique to progress from the snowplow to parallel skiing in the space of two hours! Highly recommended!

Cat Anthony booked a total of 2 hours with Francesco

Francesco was great. He lead a group of 4 of us with very mixed abilities. He was able to give pointers to the best (edging better) whilst also ensuring the least experienced was able to stop and turn using the snow polish. Providing a great tour as well with a very friendly personality.

Chris booked a total of 7 hours with Francesco

Fun lesson and a flexible approach split between my wife (inexperienced skier) and I (more experienced skier). Quite bombarded with feedback but mainly due to the short time frame of a split lesson!

Joe booked a total of 2.5 hours with Francesco

I couldn’t rate my lesson with Francesco any higher. He took the time to carefully explain the faults I’d developed over the years and how to correct them. My skiing improved so much over the lesson. It made the rest of our trip so much better. I’d highly recommend him to anyone.

Leon booked a total of 2 hours with Francesco

We booked a morning ski lesson with Francesco for our ski party of 4, with the aim to increase technical ability and find the best slopes in Avoriaz. The process of booking via Maison Sport couldn’t be easier - pick a location, pick an instructor and enjoy! - and Francesco was perfect. Clued up, easy going and a massive support to us all throughout. Oh, and he knows the best spots for those all important lunch stops.

Tom Howard booked a total of 4 hours with Francesco

I was very much a beginner, Francesco was kind, patient and helpful, I learnt a lot and went on the rest of the week successfully doing down blues and even some reds!

Sam booked a total of 2 hours with Francesco

Francesco took 4 of us for private lessons for four days. 3 of the group were skiing for the first time and he was brilliant! By the end of the weekend they were parallel skiing with great confidence. Would definitely recommend him as an instructor and would definitely come back to Avoriaz.

I had a great lesson with Francesco, he was friendly, patient and a great instructor to ski with. I could ski but I wasn’t feeling confident as it’s been a while but I was really pleased of the lesson and the lovely ski runs we managed to make in the lesson( which was a lot!) I would recommend to anyone. Thank you again 😄

I started skiing late in life and am not the most confident! Francesco is fantastic. Patient, clear direction and a great person. He took my son on some red runs and he also learnt a lot. 10/10

Dean Taylor booked a total of 6 hours and 1 full day with Francesco

Francesco is a great ski instructor, having very little experience and also not having skied for 10 years it was great to have a lesson with someone to teach me correct technique and to build my confidence. I was very nervous but he was extreme patient with me and didn’t rush me. After the lesson my skiing and confidence significantly improved so much so that I am looking forward to going next year. Thank you Francesco!

Lydia Smith booked a total of 2 hours with Francesco

I’d highly recommend Francesco. My wife and I were beginners and he helped us gain confidence on the first day and we improved with every lesson. Our technique got better every day and we were parallel skiing in no time. Francesco has a very friendly manner and is very patient. My wife came on this trip not expecting to enjoy it but now she absolutely loves skiing and has the confidence to ski some challenging runs that she thought she never would ever be able to do.

Robert Hutchison booked a total of 8 hours with Francesco

Francesco was brilliant yesterday, thank you! He had stepped in at the last minute when the previous instructor needed to adjust the timings and we really appreciate that he could do this. We are a family of five novice skiers and he gave great instruction both for getting down the slopes safely and up them on a couple of different lifts too. We really appreciate he gave clear guidance on what to do if falling off the button lift as everyone did at one point, except me :). We’d have loved a second day of lessons, but on a budget, but we had the confidence to do a whole second day ourselves. This involved accidentally going down the blue Proclou run as the green one was shut. Francesco’s lesson mean that we were all confident enough to get down safely. Many thanks Francesco. Highly recommended.

Cathy booked a total of 3 hours with Francesco

We were very satisfied and he gave each three of us equal attention. It is very useful to have a lesson like this, now we can work on our technique in our own time. A small disadvantage is queueing time at the ski-lifts, Maison Sport instructors are not allowed to take the fastlane for ski-classes.

ANdre booked a total of 3 hours with Francesco

Thank you, Francesco! My kids had never skiied before the lesson. After two days with Francesco they can now do the easy runs and more importantly, they are loving it.

Craig Stephens booked a total of 3 hours with Francesco

Francesco was very nice. After booking he contacted me via WhatsApp and asked exactly who my family of 4 were and what we were looking for, he paid attention to our asks and gave all 4 of us (all on different levels) very useful advice. He was very friendly and I really recommend him!

Jo booked a total of 3 hours with Francesco

We are a family of 3 with all different skiing levels. Francesco took the time to help us all individually and improve our confidence and skiing skills. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and would highly recommend him especially for younger children because he is patient and fun to be with. Thank you Francesco for all your help 😊

Gem Barrow booked a total of 2 hours with Francesco

Francesco is a brillant instructor who made the classes fun and challenging. My daughter woke up every morning excited to go to ski school and her ability improved enormously throughout the week. We will definitely be rebook with him .

Ottima lezione di sci con Francesco . Eravamo un gruppo di tre persone che non sciavano da molto tempo e già con un paio di discese siamo riusciti a riprendere la confidenza e la sicurezza sugli sci per godersi a pieno una giornata in montagna. Francesco è molto paziente e gentile . Super consigliato !

Superb week of instruction by Francesco. We were new to skiing but Francesco was fantastic and built our confidence as the week progressed. He constantly adapted to the group needs and by the end of the week we had found our ski legs! Thank you Francesco, you built our confidence and were a great instructor.
