The resort is well served by a large team from the ESF, but if you really want to make the most of your break, and prefer the personal touch, we highly recommend Monica at V.O. Coaching (www.vocoaching.net). Monica is an excellent and very experienced private ski and snowboard instructor. She is fun and friendly, speaks very good english and takes only small groups.
