Mountain Masters is one of Europe's leading ski schools, comprising the most innovative and forward thinking instructors who are all at the top of their respective fields. Despite a diverse range of skills, the common link between all the members of the team is their ability to adapt their knowledge and experience to get the most out of any skier.
Private lessons in skiing, telemarking and snowboarding are available for a morning afternoon or all day.

Read MoreAt the core of what we do sits our loyal client base. Here is what some of them have to say.
I cannot rate Mountain Masters highly enough. My only regret is that I didn’t book my lesson earlier in the week this time round. Rupert G is a brilliant teacher and really good company as well, so I thoroughly enjoyed all the lessons I had with him, both this recent week and back in February. Also my husband and....read more

Sienna really enjoyed the lessons with Tansy. She had done some 1-1 lessons in the past and much preferred being in a small group. It works so well because you clearly do a very good job to make sure that everyone is a similar level in the group. Tansy was a great instructor and Sienna liked the fact that everyone....read more
We had a great session with Alain and picked up lots of good tips. I think we had the worst snow conditions of the whole week the morning we had the guiding so Alain did well to find the better areas. I am now back in the office –so more skiing will be another year away. Damn!!....read more
Our boys had a fab week with Tansy. Tansy was great with them - good mix of fun and skill development.

William was taught by both Dave and Al: he thought both were good....read more
I had an excellent session with Edouard. He's a very gifted skier (way better than the average ski instructor) but also very pedagogical. I will definitely consider him for future / longer sessions. I also recommended Mountain Masters to my friends in Val d'Isère. Best regards,....read more
I just wanted to email and thank Franck PARAGOT for a good day skiing (until the accident), for co-ordinating everything with mountain rescue and showing concern for my well-being in the days following. Hope the snow is still coming down and I look forward to skiing back in Val d’Isere in future. Best wishes,....read more
We had a wonderful week in Val D’Isere and I wanted to say how impressed I was with the Mountain Masters team. I have had a frustration with a lot of ski schools for providing too many kids per class and lacking structure. However, Yvan and Al were fabulous for Skye, Hector, and Luna. They....read more
We had a great time skiing in Val with Alain LEDOUX! Alain has superb guiding skills and was always able to find the best snow locations.

Simon - thank you again for a fab 3 days - for taking my skiing up another notch, for taking me to the most beautiful off piste place and introducing me to that feeling of tranquility and remoteness, for pushing me push my limits and for pulling my butt out of that debris :-).

Thanks very much for the lessons last week with Clare. I thoroughly enjoyed the week and really felt an improvement in my skiing. I feel much more comfortable in getting down steeper and more difficult slopes now and actually enjoy it rather than just 'getting down' previously. I hope to see you again in Val in the....read more
Dear Mountain Masters, My family was fortunate to spend a week in Tignes from 5th April. Only one of us had ever ski'ed before and that had been while in school over twenty years before. We booked an instructor with you for three days from 6th - 8th April and were fortunate to be taught by Severine Remondet. We just....read more
