"AVOID HERE !!!!!!!!!!
My experience with Element3 is terrible.
I have ski Private lessons with element3 and I got 2 instructors in 3 days, the first one being supposedly sick was replaced without advising me on the second day. Strangely enough I saw him on the ski slopes teaching another client…
But most importantly, the instructors in Element3 just come for a part time job after their high school and are not able to give you any constructive or valuable feedback. They lack the basics of teaching and counseling and don’t seem interested in what they should be doing.
The second instructor is even worse. He never looks at me while I am skiing…"

"The service of ski school and ease of communication during booking are great. What we did not like is the low payment they give to instructors although they are the most expensive ski school in the area. Second thing is that taking full day at Element3 means 4 hours as with other school we have was full day until we were willing to ski."
