“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.

We had a lesson as a family of 5 together with an instructor on our first day. Then one of my children went into one of their groups every morning. The instructors and the reception team seemed very professional, friendly, skilled and we have used other ski companies in the past, which have been good but I would definitely recommend Supreme. They were fantastic!

Samantha J

I spent a week having lessons in an adult class taught by the brilliant Max Linney: he's a fantastic teacher, super relaxed and easy going but really good at making you feel comfortable and confident and tailoring his instructions to each person's ability and confidence level. I really enjoyed my classes with him and its great that Supreme ensure the class size is small.

Jennifer O

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!

I was born and raised in Turin, after adolescence dedicated to MTB XC, 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, and after two winter seasons, I started using the snowboard.
At the age of 15, I ran two seasons in boardercross and giant slalom with the Piedmontese regional committee.
After my competitive activity, I moved on to teaching.
My favourite piste in resort is Masse. Tip: 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 grew up in Rome and I started skiing in an Italian ski resort called Terminillo.

I used 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 2009 and have been teaching in Italy and France since. My favourite piste is Col de l'Audzin in Val Thorens.
Favourite tip: If you are about to fall, don't fight it. Accept your sad, grim, dark fate. It's gonna happen anyway, so you might as well 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!
