What our clients say about us

Worst experience ever! I booked adult group lessons for multiple days, but they were canceled only 10 hours in advance (the evening before) because there weren't enough participants, despite it being high season.They offered semi-private lessons for a higher price, but it was a mixed group with all levels (including both complete beginners and semi-advanced). This is unacceptable, considering the high prices paid, but they simply said, 'it's just the way they work.' Communication was also poor. I would advise others to save their money and book elsewhere

Our teenage son took a 3 hour private snowboard lesson with Jack who was once again amazing! We had the pleasure of having a private lesson with Jack last year and he quickly built a great rapport with our son and as a result, his skills came on in leaps and bounds. This time our son wanted to practice freestyle and riding switch. Jack listened to what we wanted and understood how to progress him. Not only did our son have an awesome time, Jack went above and beyond to ensure our son was competent to move forward. His attention to detail was excellent. We can’t recommend Jack enough and will definitely be booking more private lessons when we’re back over this neck of the woods! Thanks Jack, once again, you’re a legend!

Antoine is a 5***** teacher! He adapts to the needs of the groups, he gives us recommendations to improve the technique, is patient and has good recommendations as well for restaurants! I spent a great time and would highly recommend him! He managed to help me regain confidence and enjoy skiing! Thank you Antoine!!! Hope to see you again

Eileen my ski buddy & I had a great week of lessons with Antoine at Red Carpet. He was able to help us to improve our technique with an emphasis on safety too. Antoine is able to teach a group of various ages and stages in life, whilst making the lessons fun. We skied in all weathers and conditions, cruisey blues, reds and even a Black run which helped to boost our confidence. I will definitely be booking another ski school when Red Carpet becomes Ski Champery! Thanks Antoine for a wonderful week to remember. We were in beautiful Champery courtesy of Oak Hall Holidays, based in Otford, Kent, UK.

Antoine did a great job of looking after our kids & diligently instructing them. Thank you

We are a group of three who made a last-minute reservation on Champery Redcarpet. A representative immediately followed up on all the details. Our coach met us at the mountaintop gondola. He is SUPER NICE! Not only did he give hands-on technical instructions on plough turns and parallel turns, he also went out his way helping the beginner in our group. As a sketchy intermediate, I truly admire his knowledge of the mountain and mastery of all the basic techniques, which I desperately need to advance my skills. Overall a memorable ski trip on the Swiss side of Porte du Soleil thanks to Redcarpet hospitality and professionalism! Will highly recommend and definitely choose again.

Max, the ski instructor who taught our two teenagers 5 days 2h a week was fantastic! He guided our children in a friendly and patient manner. His clear instructions and encouraging attitude ensured that our teenagers made rapid progress and confidently navigated the slopes. The videos he sent after each lesson were a fine surplus to see their progress. We are incredibly grateful for his expertise and dedication, and we would highly recommend him to anyone in search of a great ski instructor for their children.

Oh my gosh, where do I even start? I just had my first snowboarding lesson with Aohkii in Champery, and it was epic! I'm all about that good energy, and Aohkii brought it in abundance. I am pretty new to the slopes, but Aohkii made me feel as if I was born for this. She had me carving through the snow like a pro by the end of the day, and I couldn't believe the progress we made.Picking Aohkii from Redcarpet Ski was a game-changer for me. Not only is she super fit (hello, former ballerina vibes!), but she totally got how to work with my movements and what I needed as a woman hitting the slopes. Her competitive spirit? Infectious. And her teaching style? Spot on.I'm buzzing from the experience and already planning my next adventure with her. If you're looking for someone to up your snowboarding game and have a blast while doing it, Aohkii's your girl. Can't wait for round two with this legend!

My instructor Gabriele was very knowledgeable and assessed my developmental needs immediately. He was able to explain the drills and model for me to copy. I definitely felt the benefit of the lesson afterwards.
Joanna C.
Had an amazing lesson with Gabriel! I’m a beginner skier and wanted to build up my confidence and technique so booked in for 2.5 hours with Gabriel after a recommendation from a friend. He was fantastic explaining things and by the end I was having so much fun and could see a massive change! So glad I went for it I would recommend him to anyone who wants to build their confidence as he was so gentle and attentive and really put me at ease, thank you!

Thanks Tom for wonderful 5 days of snow shoeing, it was an excellent experience thanks to you! Hopefully we’ll be back! Mady & Evy
Mady M.
My three sons ages 23, 21 and 14 had the absolute pleasure of spending 5 days skiing with Gabriel in the Christmas holidays. He is an amazing ski instructor, patient, funny and super encouraging. Would highly recommend anyone to ski with him from beginners to good skiers wanting to improve techniques. Even made me want to get back on the slopes… We will be back!
Eloise C.
Fantastic experience!.... Highly recommend Tom for skiing lessons and snowshoeing. He very experienced and friendly and helped make fantastic memories for us. Thanks for a great time and recommend 1000%
Juliet M.
My wife had a lesson with Tom today; he helped her build confidence on slopes she usually finds very tricky to ski! It was great to hear about her lesson at the end of the day and the big smile on her face. Thanks Tom and RedCarpet team!
Gwinnett B.
A great experience with Jack, catering for the skills and coaching needs of my teenage daughters, who ski well, and their slower, fatter dad as well. Louise, who we booked with via telephone was a delight as well.
Ed H.
Booked both our children (ages 14 and 15) for private snow boarding lessons. Aohkii was a great instructor with patience. She was kind, helpful and filled the kids with confidence helping them learn how to board quickly and have fun in doing so. I recommend the Red Carpet ski school and Aohkii any time!

Redcarpet was a class outfit from start to finish. Booking was made very easy by Lloyd. We were very lucky to have Jack take our 3 children (first time skiers) for 4 x 3 hour morning lessons. They developed a great rapport with him right from the start. He was very patient with them (not always easy talking from experience!) and this was reflected in the amazing progress they made over such a short time period. We are very grateful. We also made use of Gabriel for a one hour “refresher” as it had been 12 years since we last had skied and this was well worth it. We hope to be back next year and wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again.

My 7 year old boy joined Marion for a week of all morning every morning ski camp during February half term. He is a real blaster on his skis and a handful to control! He was with an awesome bilingual group who loved every morning. He was up early and dressed in his ski-kit everyday roaring to go. That says it all. He loved it and Marion's skillful coaching and support brought on his skiing. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into him this week. We really appreciate as parents knowing that he was in such a caring and supportive environment. We will be back at Redcarpet next year.

Paul was a fantastic teacher and the children were very eager to spend their three hours with him on the slopes. Such a nice guy, great ski coach. We would definitely come back for more! Merci beaucoup 😊
Aksinia B.
Marion was an excellent teacher!! She is really hard working, patient and nice! She permitted our fast progression🎿
Hugo Lourenço M.
My family and I had a two hour private lesson with Paul, for a second year in a row. We cannot recommend Paul highly enough - he’s very experienced, friendly and fun. We all learnt a lot, despite very different levels of ability. Thanks Paul!
Gabrielle B.
Jolan is a realy great teacher, we made a lot of progression just in two days time. We would recommend him. Thank you very much. Ariane and Tim
Ariane De L.
We had a wonderful week with Lukas! He was so patient with our nearly 3 year old little boy- H loved him and is still talking about his ski lessons with such fondness! Lukas impressed us with his patience and capability at keeping H safe whilst getting around the resort (both on red slopes and chairlifts). Lukas also went above and beyond to ensure the rest of us had a great week and despite not being my instructor, he took me out one afternoon to give me some tips on my skiing! Thank you Lukas- see you next year!

5 Star performance from Lloyd, Emily & Paul at Redcarpet Champery.I received a total of 5 (3hours) ski lessons within the Les Croset region, from baby greens to blues to a very little red slope.Lloyd scheduled the lessons, he was EXCEPTIONAL when it came to customer service. Listened and adapted when needed. He also went out of his way to arrange some paragliding and sent me my flight video via WhatsApp afterwards.Emily & Paul both provided my lessons.Both very easy-going, attentive, kind and strong (They needed to be strong to pick up my 6.4ft frame). They provided clear and easy instructions and mixed up the lessons to keep me motivated and engaged. (Very lovely people)I would happily recommend Redcarpet Champery.

What a great skischool! Our tree children had a great week with Tom and Manon, and made a huge progress in skiing! Keep up the good work.
Thijs B.
My children had the luck to have the 2 most wonderful and patience full people to teach them to ski.. Emma was so sweet for our 3 year old girl. She learned her that skiing is fun. And my oldest had lessons from Lucas.. Despite the language barrier, Lucas learned him the basic of skiing with a lot of patience and a lot of fun. After every lesson my children asked when they would go skiing again!! I highly recommend this ski school because they are really helpful and understanding if the agreed time wouldn’t work out. The people who work there are just amazing!
Natalia S.
The ski lesson was amazing. I gained so much from the coach, and he is very kind and detail-minded. After the mistakes I made, he always pointed out the core problems which I can avoid from the moment on.
Zhixuan L.
Our kids had 6 marvelous days with Lloyd (1) and Tom (5 days).Besides increasing there skills they had above all fun.Team Dutch out
Bas van W.
New to skiing and had some lessons on my first ski trip with Red Carpet - Rochelle was supportive, helpful and patient with me and in only 6 hours I have come a very long way.Thanks to Lloyd and his great team for helping me to build confidence in a great sport.Highly recommend Red Carpet for lessons!
Jack S.
What a bunch of legends Lloyd and his Red Carpet team are – we cannot recommend them highly enough! Our 5 year old son Stanley had morning lessons with both Lukas & Emily throughout the week, as well as a 1st morning with Raphaella. It was his 1st time on skis and after starting the week on the nursery slopes he was snow-ploughing down red runs by the end of the week with a huge smile on his face and not fazed by anything. They got him skiing much quicker than we’d anticipated (Lukas even sent us notes with what to work on) meaning we could all ski as a family across Les Portes du Soleil in the afternoons. Stanley loved his time with them all – you guys really were amazing, thank you! Our eldest 2 children (Daisy aged 13 & Wilf aged 10) had daily lessons with Fred who was the perfect guy to push their abilities to the next level. Their confidence grew as the week progressed, and we’d pick them up at lunch beaming and exhilarated – with us struggling to keep up with them! Fred – you’re a top man, thank you…don’t hang up your skis as we hope to be back next year!
George W.
Antoine went out of his way to show us round the domaine in our final lesson, which was an amazing experience. Also everyone else in our group noticed how much we had both improved over the week. Merci!
Tom M.
We had such a great couple of lessons with Paul. Thank you!
Bryn A.
Jack was the BEST! My boys had him for 5 days, 2 hour private lessons every morning & all day on Friday. I honestly only have good things to say. He is awesome. We go home today & one of my boys is crying he is going to miss him so much!He kept them safe, they learnt new stuff and overall became their friend so they could have so so much fun,Thank you Jack!Excuse my profile name my son changed it 🤯I’m Gen 😊We will we back ☺️I have been unable to submit another review due to email issue but can I also give a big shout out to Lukas.He took my 4 year old Freddie out onto the mountains & he had the best afternoon EVER!Thank you! You are Fred’s new best friend.We will be back & booking with Jack & Lukas again 😊😊😊
Dr try hard B.
Our instructor Jolan was very patient and calm. He has very good English and was able to explain the various techniques & instructions very clearly. He also has a multitude of different techniques to improve ski turns making the process much easier to grasp.

Superbe expérience avec un super moniteur ! Merci à Paul 🎿 ⛷️Nous recommandons à 200% 😉
fabien L.
I was part of a small intermediate group learning with Antoine. We were all really impressed with the coaching we received. From an initial safety briefing, taking time to understand what we all wanted to achieve, and then supporting and encouraging us, Antoine was brilliant. He is also quite a character and helped us have fun as well. If you meet Antoine, you need to let him show you his poles 😄 One day we swapped instructors with another group and learned with Gabriel, whom we also found to be just as encouraging and really insightful, also helping us overcome our fears and technical challenges. In debriefs over a drink, Antoine and Gabriel gave up their own time to give us feedback and encouragement. We saw many other Red Carpet ski instructors around with groups of all ages and their professionalism and sense of fun was clear to see. Based on our experience, I would recommend this ski school unreservedly. Oh yes, most importantly, our skiing and confidence came on in leaps and bounds.
Steve W.
Gabriel was my excellent instructor over the last week in Champery. He was patience personified and super encouraging as well as imparting loads of really helpful tips and advice to improve my skiing. I also really appreciated his ability to understand the levels of everyone in the group and to provide tailored advice. I highly recommend him!
Robert S.
Great lesson with Paul, very helpful and patient at helping me improve my carving
David H.
I was really happy with Redcarpet instructors. They all are enthusiastic to teach me and my kids. The kids already ask me to continue the lessons with them.ah.. my son missed one lesson because he was sick. Right away they ask me if he can do extra hours for the next days. I appreciated for all consideration as well.Lukas, Tom, Jack !! Thank you again.See you all next year again~~
hyunju L.
Great day for my boys and me. Big carving progress. Thanks Tom.
Giles B.
Had a lesson with Lukas and had an amazing time on the snow. He is so patient and attentive through the lesson. He corrected all my posture and that had given me confidence to try the red part today. Thanks ☺️ again.
Kate V.
My friend and I had a lovely 3 hours snowshoeing with Tom. He was very patient with us, (especially as I am a cowardly cat going down hill) and distracted me brilliantly with his dubious jokes. Thoroughly recommend. Great exercise and beautiful stunning views without the pain of skiing !! Thank you Tom
Honor M.
Fantastic ski school - friendly, professional and a great team. Jack looked after me for a few days and quickly understood exactly what I wanted to get out of my lessons. Would highly recommend.

Antoine fue un gran profesor para mis hijos de 7 y 9 años!!!Con mucha paciencia les ayudo a tomar confianza y superar sus miedos. Gracias Antoine por tu dedicacion y calidez en las clases!!! Maria, Jacinta y Juan (from Buenos Aires)
