reviews from schools
We have now returned to school following our hugely successful trip to Verbier at the beginning of the month. I would just like to thank you and your team for such a wonderful trip. Our girls (and staff) loved every single moment, truly, nothing could have been better. The accommodation was clean, warm and cosy and Rosa was such a fantastic cook, she really looked after us and we all ate so well. The ski instructors were brilliant and built up such a rapport with our students, they helped build their confidence but still challenged them to become better skiers. The animation team were so kind, funny and caring, they made all the après ski activities fun and enjoyable. Finally Jenny was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble and she made sure that we were looked after from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We have received so many lovely comments from parents and students excitedly telling us what a great time they had and they cannot wait to come again! Thank you to everyone at Les Elfes.
I would like to say thank you to you and all your staff who made our trip so enjoyable. The students have come back from the trip absolutely buzzing and keep asking about next year already.
I thought every member of staff was fantastic, the ski instructors helped to challenge and push our students, whilst Iggy and the animation team were brilliant at keeping students entertained in the evenings.
We were really impressed by you guys and how you managed to run everything so smoothly. We thought staff were very professional at all times, being really caring and supportive to our students. It was also nice to see staff encouraging students to mix. Our students defiantly made some new friends and had lots of fun.
We would like to say how grateful we are to have come to Les Elfes and had such a wonderful time and how patient you were with us being our first time. Thank you for always being about and answering all of our questions.
Thank you,
