 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi peoples,
Can anyone recommend a ski instructor in Montchavin?
Recommendations on ski schools also appreciated, but since even the best schools can have 1 or 2 not-so-great teachers i'd prefer to knowingly target specific persons.
Group or private lessons fine. I'm intermediate (need to master those reds, and start trying my luck on 1, ok maybe 2!, blacks!)
I only get 1 (extremely looked forward to) ski week a year (going 10-18 Mar.), so need to make the most of it.
All advice appreciated.
Thanks, suzanne

By the way, English or French instruction are both fine.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We skied Montchavin Les Coches last year and had lessons with Evolution 2 - can't remember the names of all the instructors as we were a large group. Everyone was happy with the instructors and all progressed really well. Have a great trip, we really liked the resort although it did take a long time to get to some of the skiing over at La Plagne

Same here. Stayed in Montchavin last 2 years. Brillant place. Used various instructors, Bruno is Evolution 2 seemed very good this year. Apart from instructors, highly recommend the restaurant la Ferme De Caesar right across from the chair lift at the bottom of what is supposed to be the nursery slope but this year is more a nursery/mud slope.

Mouth, Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. No-one knows it's there, pretty hard to find. Don't want to let the riff-raff in 
Agreed it is a lovely place though, I skied back from there in the dark twice last week having entered the place for a swift one when it was still light.
suziq, we were in Les Coches last week and used Evolution 2. Everyone in our chalet had been there before and Bruno seemed to be the favorite amongst everyone.

suziq, couple of other mountain restaurants to go to / avoid.
The one at the top of the plan bois chairlift, crystal something although it may be spelt with a "K". Avoid like the plague, it's right next to the nursery button and has a captive audience, prices are much more expensive and the staff are rude !
Go past that one and keep skiing down to the Plein Soleil, good food, friendly staff. You would need to book for lunch, they do accept telephone reservations.
There is a brand new one right next to the Vanoise that's OK, nice place for a drink with great views down over the valley and Bourg.
The one at the top of the Pierre Blanche chair is self service and very busy if the sun is out, food is OK though. all freshly prepared. Huge outside terrace.
