Fabrice instructed two intermediate to expert skiers in my party for an afternoon. He took them away from the pistes to work on body position and turning in softer snow. Later in the lesson they returned to the pistes to apply what they had learned to the hardpack. His style would suit someone who doesn’t want to just spend a lesson on one drill; and who wants to take advantage of his amazing knowledge of the Val D’isere off-piste.

Anna booked a total of 2 hours with Fabrice

We are a family of five (2 adults and 3 teenagers) and had a fantastic 3 days with Fabrice in Val D’Isere. He was happy to do as much or as little instructing as we wanted. The skiing was great and we barely saw a queue or many other skiers, which given it was half term was great - as he knows the resort inside out. We couldn’t recommend Fabrice any more highly. Thanks

Sue chia booked a total of 2 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice is an exceptional instructor, he is incredibly friendly and can convey complex skiing concepts very well. We booked Fabrice as a mixed ability group of adults and he always made the lesson interesting for all of us. He had us all skiing confidently by the end of the week even the complete beginners. If we could give 6/5 stars then we would!!

Sophia Fleites booked a total of 3 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice was a super ski instructor/guide. We only booked him the evening before and he was very flexible as our group of two became a one-one lesson due to an unfortunate incident on the mountain for my husband during the morning. Our specific request had been to ski in Val d’Isere as we were based in Tignes and due to various pistes being closed (lack of snow) we wanted a little guidance about skiing over there. Well, I think I did it all in one afternoon - at speed! Made it right over to the Glacier du Pisaillas which was glorious. Fabrice was so knowledgable about the area and I learned so much about the Tignes/Val d’Isere area during the afternoon, it was great to piece together the geography of the area and start to recognise the different mountains, as well as learn about the different pistes - used in the Olympics in some cases (and Fabrice was there in ‘92!) and some named after famous French skiers like Killy. I had a lovely afternoon skiing with Fabrice and have no hesitation in recommending him.

Ruth booked a total of 4 hours with Fabrice

We had 3h lesson with Fabrice and would highly recommend him. I felt much more comfortable after the 3 hours. Fabrice is a great teacher.

Johanna booked a total of 3 hours with Fabrice

My 12 year old son and I had a great week improving on our basic knowledge with Fabrice. This was our 2nd week of skiing ever and by the end of it Fabrice took us at the Grande Motte and we were able to ski down the glacier which was an amazing experience. Fabrice was super friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable and we will for sure use his services again next time we are in this area. Merci Fabrice 😀 !

Talida Evanso booked a total of 16 hours with Fabrice

Denise booked a total of 6 hours with Fabrice

My wife broke her arm skiing in Easter 2022 so our Val trip with Fabrice was her first time back on the slopes. Fabrice was excellent at rebuilding her confidence and provided excellent technical feedback to improve her skiing. Fabrice is also an extremely friendly guy who my wife enjoyed spending time on the slopes with. We can thoroughly recommend Fabrice as an instructor.

Rich booked a total of 12 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice taught my brother and I (ages 15 and 12) from only having 3 lessons on an indoor slope to skiing parallel turns down blue and even some red runs within a week. The lessons were relaxed and enjoyable and we are both really pleased with the progress we made. The booking process was simple and communication prior to our holiday was excellent. Thank you Fabrice.

Charlotte Wright booked a total of 15 hours with Fabrice

We had Fabrice for a week for 4 children, mixed ages and all beginners. So much progress in the week. They managed part of a black run on final day and showed they had learnt control and even started some parallel turns. We will book again

Suzi (Ski Solutions) booked a total of 3 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice was a fantastic teacher and helped me massively to get back on my skis after 15 years away from it. He was very patient and gave good, clear technical advice which left me feeling confident to ski again. For anyone looking for private lessons at any ability I would definitely recommend Fabrice - it was a pleasure!

George booked a total of 3 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice is a superb instructor. We couldn’t recommend him enough! We were a mixed ability group and he tailored the lessons to our individual needs. We all improved significantly over the week. He is very friendly and we enjoyed spending our mornings with him.

Nathalie booked a total of 24 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice was great - really gave me some helpful feedback and advice and increased my confidence no end. He was supportive and patient which was perfect and exactly what I needed.

Victoria booked a total of 2 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice was an amazing instructor! I had 4 lessons booked but due to bad weather it was really only 2 lessons due to me not wanting to ski in the snow and with poor visibility. I was gutted that the weather was not better as I was really enjoying the lessons. The first day, Fabrice found out where my issues with skiiing lay and provided help and guidance on how to improve. I felt by the end of day one that i had made some decent progress. As Fabrice said, I am adding tools to my toolbox and on day two I had mastered lots of new skills and felt really good with skiing, I was that confident I skiied with my family in the afternoon and they could see my progress. When the weather took a turn the following day I was gutted as i could not learn to improve anymore. I would definitely recommend Fabrice, he was very patient, provided lots of tips and guidance and helped me to ski better than I could at the start of the week. If we had had the four days, my ski ability would have come on much more, I am sure! If I am in the area again, I would definitely book Fabrice again!

lucy booked a total of 12 hours with Fabrice

As a very nervous skier I was really anxious before the lesson. Fabrice was very patient and friendly and by the end of it I was feeling so much more confident and happy and excited for the next day.

Sam booked a total of 4 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice provided 3 mornings of lessons to a group of 6 friends of mine, aged between 26-33. All of the 6 were on their first ski trip but by the end of their lessons they could all confidently ski blue runs and were able to ski with me across the Espace Killy area from Tignes, Val D’Isere, and Fornet. In their words: “Really enjoyed our lessons, Fabrice adapted his teaching to our needs, was very knowledgable and communicated excellently. Our whole group had a great time. A friendly, helpful and all-round great guy. Highly recommend!” I believe they also gave Fabrice a tip of €10 each which I think demonstrates just how much they enjoyed his lessons and his company! Hope to see Fabrice again when we return to Tignes/Val D’Isere !

Ben booked a total of 9 hours with Fabrice

Matt booked a total of 6 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice was a absolute joy to ski with, as beginners he made us feel really comfortable and offered proper technical advice on how to correct our technique. With a wealth of knowledge of the mountains we felt comfortable going out of our comfort zones and skiing a green run! Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again.

Calista Kam booked a total of 2 hours and 1 full day with Fabrice

Booked Fabrice for lessons for my 11 and 12 year old during our week in Tignes. Only their second week on the slopes, after three years off, and they skied confidently down a black run on their last lesson! They loved Fabrice, said he was friendly and made skiing a LOT of fun for them. Thank you Fabrice!

Elizabeth booked a total of 12 hours with Fabrice

Our kids, ages 7, 5 and 5 had an amazing time with Fabrice. All were beginners and he done an amazing job to keep them entertained. We couldn’t believe how well they were skiing by the end of their 5 afternoons with Fab.

Craig booked a total of 15 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice is utterly brilliant, I cannot recommend him highly enough. We were a group of 3 (mum and two teenagers) and we had several lessons with Fabrice over the course of a week. We had all skied before, but came with a mixture of lack of confidence, pre-existing injuries and inexperience. Fabrice pitched all the lessons perfectly, significantly improving our confidence and technique over the week - and made each lesson fun and enjoyable. By the end of the week, my anxious teen was confident on a red run and has asked me to book another ski-holiday - but it has to be to Val d’isere with Fabrice as an instructor! Thank you Fabrice x

Nick booked a total of 4 hours with Fabrice

I couldn’t recommend a better instructor! Kind, patient, knowledgeable, trustworthy and always with a smile on his face. Fabrice helped me transform from someone who has always been very nervous on the mountain to finally finding my inner skier! From the very first morning I was making progress and enjoying every lesson, even in varying conditions. I can’t wait to come back to France to ski with Fabrice, he is truly a local legend and it’s easy to see why!

He is patient and not pushy and clearly enjoys teaching. I’m a nervous intermediate and he showed me different skills to help cope with the varying conditions. I can highly recommend Fabrice.

Fabrice was fabulous! He was just what we were looking for in our 1:2 adult lesson; we had a morning lesson lasting 4 hours. He critiqued our technique in order to help us achieve our goals of getting more comfortable on reds and blacks. Throughout the week, we have been able to put into practice what we have learnt which has been invaluable. We could not recommend Fabrice more.

Lara booked a total of 4 hours with Fabrice

She made great progress and is thrilled that she was able to ski down some black runs by the end of the week. We had three instructors from Maison Sport and they were brilliant at communicating with each other so that we all started and finished our classes in the same location. Thank you so much for a wonderful week Fabrice!

Overall a really enjoyable session, and would highly recommend!

George booked a total of 4 hours with Fabrice

Très bonne expérience sur deux grandes matinées avec Fabrice qui m'a fait travailler des points de technique sur mon usage des skis paraboliques. Expérience dans la poudreuse super chouette.

Connait super bien le domaine.Je le recommande vivement pour des élèves de niveau différent.

Nothing was too much trouble and his patience was endless! Thank you so much and we will hope to see you again next year!

Christopher booked a total of 15 hours with Fabrice

Our group of kids loved Fabrice - lots of fun and full of challenging pistes to enjoy - thank you

Abi booked a total of 6 hours with Fabrice

Fab is in Fabrice's name - and rightly so. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with. (We were an English group of two fathers and two late teenage boys - 3 intermediates and an intermediate/beginner.) Fabrice very clearly explained the technical side of skiing and the different stages in the turns. Within 5 mins of the lesson he immediately solved a long-running problem of mine - not by just demonstrating but explaining the theory behind it, which really helped me understand what I was doing wrong. He was very relaxed, kind and courteous. We had a 3 hour lesson and it zipped by, so enjoyable. It didn't feel like a lesson at all but we all learnt so much. I would thoroughly recommend Fabrice.

David booked a total of 3 hours with Fabrice

We had Fabrice for a week over new year 2018/19. He was very accommodating to our request to split the lesson between learners and intermediates. He was very good at giving confidence to the learners, and had a very supportive style of coaching. He was very knowledgeable of the area, had many years of experience and came out despite having a bad cold. He was very friendly and we would completely recommend him.

Simon booked a total of 15 hours with Fabrice

Good grasp of English. Good attention to skiers. Coached a mixed group of abilities including beginners. By the third (2 hour) lesson they were confidently executing linked parallel turns and taking blue runs confidently. This is not the first time I have used Fabrice and it will not be the last. Will be back in April and will book him again.

Nik booked a total of 8 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice was superb. He instructed our two teenage daughters for two afternoons and then acted as guide and instructor for 4 of us for the next three afternoons. Our girls progressed so well in ability and confidence and really liked Fabrice. Lessons were fun and pitched just right. The guiding was outstanding. Despite it being a busy week Fabrice always knew where to find the best snow and the quietest lifts. Best of all was his off piste guiding showing us whole new areas of Tigne we would never have found. Highly recommend!

Rob booked a total of 15 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice, is warm, friendly and a great teacher - he taught my 14-year-old to parallel turn in 4 lessons, despite her teenage attitude!! Fabrice is good at instilling confidence, interest, and fun into lessons and we certainly covered a large area of the mountain. Despite having his car severely damaged by an ice block dropping onto it and the next day us all getting stuck on a chairlift in a blizzard for 45 minutes, a smile was never very far from his face. I would thoroughly recommend Fabrice to anyone, he really enhanced our holiday. Many many thanks Vix & Roxy

Fabrice est un moniteur très sympathique et à l'écoute de ses élèves. Nos 2 fils (9-11 ans) ont adoré leurs séances avec lui. Il a su varier les techniques, leur faire découvrir la station, tout en les préparant au slalom de la flèche. Fabrice s'est montré très souple pour les RV. Nos enfants ont bien progressé et nous sommes tous très heureux de cette rencontre. Highly recommended.

Eugene booked a total of 1.5 hours with Fabrice

Fabrice was very good with the whole booking process. He communicated extremely well and was punctual to the minute. All 6 teenagers 'loved' Fabrice. He was fun, they felt very safe with him as his knowledge of the whole area is amazing! They looked forward to their 3 hour lesson every day!! They also found him very finny. He is happy to take instruction on what the group needs, and is very flexible on how the session should pan out. On the last day one of the parents took the place of a child who was unwell and came home saying how fantastic Fabrice was! All 6 teenagers have amazing memories of skiing with Fabrice. What a treasure!
