Visitor comments
- "I booked three, 3-hour ski lessons with AIM before arriving in Les Arcs 1950. My two teenage girls,17 and 15, enjoyed their lessons with Ross so much that they wanted an extra lesson on our last day. Much more fun than skiing with Mum and Dad. They learnt new skills, did some challenging skiing on and off piste and had great fun with lots of chatting too. They are very keen to return to Les Arcs next year, and hopefully have lessons again with Ross!" - Trip Advisor
- "This was our third season having lessons with JP - we find him to be informative, patient and fun. We are intermediate skiers but often need that first day confidence boost after experiencing the feeling of "I've forgotten how to ski" from the previous season. That feeling is gone within the first five minutes and we progress and learn new skills to make the rest of our holiday very enjoyable. Will be using for a fourth season in 2017!" - Trip Advisor
- "As a novice snowboarder - with a fear of being out of control - I booked in some one on one time with JP, AIM's premier instructor. I was blown away by his professionalism and his expertise. JP transformed me from a scared, hesitant novice into an actual snowboarder. His patience was remarkable, as was his flexibility - and after three afternoons of lessons, I was able to tackle more challenging runs, and ultimately make it down from the top of Les Arcs not just in one piece, but turning edge to edge with confidence. AIM gave end to end quality service - from a prompt and tailored booking experience, to following up on my progress after I competed my lessons. Thoroughly recommended." - Trip Advisor
- "I cannot tell you how fantastic my skiing holiday was with AIM. It was brilliant, fantastic tutoring, very friendly and made so much fun. Will definitely be returning." - Trip Advisor
