About
It was nearly 30 years ago, in 1987, when the Evolution 2 adventure began. At the outset, our passion was the outdoors. Hervé Favre, a ski instructor and entrepreneur, surrounded by 5 collaborators developed a different forward thinking ski school a far cry from the traditional rigid structures that existed at that time. 30 years later there are more than 500 sporting professionals proudly wearing the Evolution 2 colours, both nationally in France and worldwide, each and every one affirming the same philosophies that Evolution 2 was built upon. Men and women converging from different backgrounds.

    6 day beginner class - A brilliant experience from start to finish. The group sizes were so much smaller than all the other ski schools around which helped us all progress with confidence. The week was tailored to our group, with options to advance to another class if you felt confident to. Everything from ski safety to lift use and technique was covered. Our instructor, Louis (with the pink hat) was fantastic. He instantly made you feel at ease and helped you build confidence throughout. He was approachable and easy to get along with, making the classes even better. He took the time to give everyone personalised feedback and would always make sure you left the session feeling happy with your progress. If you were struggling, he’d always help and made sure you were never left behind in the group. He used his in-depth knowledge and experience to ensure you were challenged to get the most out of the lesson but made sure you did not feel pushed beyond your limits. He also showed professionalism and good sportsmanship throughout; not only would he help you when fallen, but wouldn’t see any skier stuck without help. Our group advanced from not knowing how to put ski boots on to trickier blue slopes in such a short time because of his excellent teaching. The company advised beginners to not get ski lift passes until we told to do so - this was great as we didn’t waste +€140 on lift passes in the first few days; lots of free green and blue runs were used to build skill and confidence to get us ready to use the higher/larger runs. As soon as we felt confident enough, we got ski lift passes and explored more!

    I had booked afternoon group ski lessons for the week to help force me in to making the move from snowboard to skis. Unfortunately when my week arrived I was the only one booked for the afternoon so EVO2 offered a refund or to swap to an equivalent cost of private lessons. I was apprehensive about having just a few hours of private lessons as thought I might not have the motivation to practice on my own, but 3 x 1.5 hour lunchtime lessons with the excellent Jeff turned out to be the best thing I could have done. Jeff explained everything very well, was politely firm with ensuring I got the basics right and pushed me to try the next thing, all with good positive reinforcement. With each lesson I had something new to work on and had no difficulty motivating myself to practice on the Poma and then the Almes lift. By day 4, my lessons had finished, and with what I'd been taught was able to ski down the blues from the top of the Val Claret funicular with my more competant family 4 times. Thoroughly recommend EVO2 and Jeff in Tignes le Lac.

    Thank you so much to my brilliant instructor Raphaël for an amazing week of ski lessons at Evolution 2 in Le Lac. I would recommend these lessons and Raphaël to anyone learning to ski/wanting to improve. 10/10 - such an incredible experience, I was always supported and the lessons really improved my confidence, enabled me to explore the area whilst learning lots and feeling really encouraged. I booked into the green group and got moved up to the blue ski group on day 1 and instructors were always supporting people to be in the group that best suited them. Raphaël was really kind especially in moments where I felt a little scared. I had so much fun and am really grateful for such a great week of ski lessons. Brilliant experience, brilliant group and brilliant instructor! Thank you Raphaël! Can’t wait to be back and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. :)

    Just back from a weeks skiing holiday in Tignes. I booked in for 5 days ski school (parallel green). My instructor Marco was fabulous! There were 8 people in the class which allowed Marco to give each of us good feedback and detailed instruction to improve our skiing. His extensive knowledge of the Tignes/Val D’Isere area meant that we were able to experience many different runs within the 3 hour lesson. My 5 year old daughter was booked in to Yetison and was flying down the blue runs by the end of the week. Would highly recommend Evo2 and will book again in the future.

    Our family of six went in January 2025 to Tignes and absolutely loved it-in no small part to the wonderful instructors. Our 4 year old enjoyed her time at ski school (I think called Yeti club) and by the end of the week was going out on the slopes and able to do far more than I imagined her to do. There was zero moaning before going which I thought may happen due to being tired or cold. Our 6 and 7 year old daughters were in a group together and now are OBSESSED with skiing and didn’t want to leave. They ski better than I do now which is really brilliant to see. They had pascale and they covered so much of the piste it was a total joy to see their progress. My husband had Guilio and had a brilliant time (he LOVED him) . My son was in an intermediate class and also happily went off every day-I’m afraid I can’t remember the name. I was in a beginner ish group with the lovely and patient Thomaso. He was such a lovely guy and really took the time to watch everyone thoroughly and give pointers throughout each run. He was fun and chatty and great at his job making us all feel at ease. All in all we had a wonderful week and we were all sad to leave. Thanks evolution 2 your instructors are a credit to you. Ali

    Just had the most amazing ski lesson with Alex H - a very king, caring and detailed instructor who made my friend and I feel at ease whilst challenging us and giving us the most enjoyable lesson. Alex H from evolution 2 skiing is someone I couldn’t recommend more. For the two hours we thoroughly went through all the skiing techniques and were corrected thoroughly when needing improvement. Being a visual learner Alex made sure to always demonstrate and make us go one by one so that he could give detailed individual feedback. We had so much fun, were continuously laughing and having a fun time. Thank you for being so smiley and supportive!!

    Excellent snowboarding (+ski) school. Myself and my wife had Camille and Jeremy as instructors and we booked Camille for an extra private lessons one afternoon. Incredible instructors, very talented. Camille really helped my wife improve the basics of her snowboarding, she had improved so much by the end of our trip. We have used Evolution 2 in Tignes and Chamonix, would choose this company every time!

    Booked a 2hr training session in Nordic skiing. Our trainer Adrian was excellent. He provided exactly the coaching we wanted and needed, with patience, intelligence and charm. The session was the perfect start to the sport and has inspired us to continue. Thanks Adrian !

    I have used evolution2 in both Chamonix and Tignes Le Lac. I will choose this company every time. I had Camille for our Lessons this time and my husband had Jeremy. Both were incredible, patient and really excellent at what they do. Camille helped me improve the basics of my snowboarding. After a 3 day group course, I booked an extra afternoon with Camille, which was worth every penny! Would recommend Evolution 2 to all!

    Did the three hour Level 2 Snow Shoe offering. We had never done snow shoeing before and weren’t sure how fit you needed to be. Turns out Level 2 is perfect for a 50 year-old who doesn’t do enough exercise normally! Delphine (and, of course her Border Collie) took us for a lovely walk through the forest lower down the mountain (between 1800 and 1600m). Snow was beautiful and pristine in places. Learned to climb steep hills and slide down them too Felt we’d done a proper workout but hadn’t overdone it at all. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the mountains in winter but doesn’t want to ski every day. Will definitely be back for more!

A huge thank you to Luca at Evolution Ski School Tignes. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to learn and then grow in confidence when skiing. Myself and a friend booked 6 mornings of total beginner adult skiing lessons, on the first day I was full of fear and tears but Luca’s approach to teaching helped me grow in confidence throughout the week. I learnt how to do and then perfect my technique and got more comfortable with speed to drive down both the green and blue runs. We finished the week on a steep and narrow blue which I never thought would have been possible when I was crying down the nursery slope a few days ago! The group of 8 beginners that we were in was brilliant and encouraging and I think that is a reflection of how Luca kept the lessons fun and helped us to all overcome our fears. Going home with a new skill, friends and memories. Thank you

Myself and my friend booked beginner ski lessons for 7 days, via Crystal Ski. We paid 213 pounds and were expecting 3 hours lessons each day (9am-12pm). We were staying in a hotel in Val Claret, and so as beginners, had to take the bus over to Le Lac to start lessons (better area for beginners to learn). This meant that our lessons often didn't start until 9.30 and finished early at 11.30 as the instructor told us he had to get back over to Val Claret for his next class to start. We certainly didn't get our 3 hour lessons a day, and voiced our opinion to our rep, who complained.

We appreciate that we needed to get the bus over to Le Lac, but we still paid for 3 hour lessons per day; so would've been happy to meet over at Le Lac for 9am if this meant we got our 3 hours! Our instructor repeatedly told us he had another class back in Val Claret starting at 12, so we had to suffer to allow him to be there on time, totally unacceptable, be aware!

When the feedback reached the ski instructor, he began to treat us differently and singled us out, being quite nasty to us. Other people in the group even picked up on this. Our instructor clearly hadn't taught beginners before or didn't like teaching beginners and didn't even teach the basics of snow plowing on day 1 or 2. Don't expect to get your moneys worth if you book through Evolution 2, because we certainly didn't. AVOID

Booked adult beginner ski school for my partner with Evolution 2. I deliberately booked in Val Claret in Tignes as that is where we were staying. At the time of the booking and before the lessons started we were told nothing about where the lessons would take place.

The class met in Val Claret and every day the instructor took the entire class to the bus stop on foot. They didn’t even ski to the bus stop and then they took the bus to Lavachet for the lesson. We lost thirty minutes of instruction every day. Instruction time that we had paid for. When I complained to the Evolution 2 office they were not interested in listening and tried to claim the bus journey is very short and the beginner slopes are better in Lavachet.

If beginner lessons are to take place in Lavachet then tell the customer and we can travel to Lavachet in our own time and back again at the end of the lesson. That way we’ll get the full 18 hours of instruction we payed for. Very unsatisfactory communication and service from Evolution 2 which is a great shame because they used to be so good at service.

Evolution2 were great - I did adults class for 3 hours in the mornings for the week we were in Tignes with Jeff who was brilliant. Really patient, understanding and explained things clearly, getting to know each of us in the group individually. He chose our routes each day depending on the weather and how busy the resorts were so we had the quietest slopes with the best snow. Jeff was so informative about the local area, it was like having a personal tour guide whilst learning to ski! Thank you so much!

The kids also loved their lessons with Evolution2 too, liked their instructor, had fun, were stretched and great technique taught - we all can’t wait to come back!

A huge thank you to Luca at Evolution 2 Ski School Tignes. For the first time ever, I have actually enjoyed skiing and ended each day with a big smile on my face. Instead of ending the week defeated, I ended it skiing down 4 blue runs!!

The beginner group I was in bonded brilliantly and were so supportive, cheering each other on when a new skill was learnt or a new fear was conquered. I think Luca was a big part of our group bonding so well and having fun. He was always there to reassure and suggest ways to improve your technique. Still not too sure how he did it though. One minute he was at the top of the slope with another member of the group and the next giving tips to someone by the button lift. Maybe he had a teleporting device!

Thanks Luca (and my group) for giving me the best skiing experience and for sitting with me on my first chair lift ride. Going home with a much improved skill, a love of skiing, some great new friends and fantastic memories. Thank you

Adult ski lessons in the morning for 6 days. Total of 6/7 people in the group. Older male ski instructor did not introduce himself to the group. We followed him round the mountain and he only stopped 3 times to see us individually skiing. Taught nothing and said very little. Keep thinking tomorrow will be different but just the same. Everyone in the group agreed he was going through the motions. On the last day he was more talkative to obviously get tips. No one give him a tip. My husband found out he was moving away the following week so he was not interested in teaching. A complete waste of money and time. Highly disappointed and l told the office in Val Claret. Last year's instructor Felix was fantastic, will use another company next year.

I would highly recommend my skiing instructor Lionel @ Evolution 2 Tignes. For someone who is not a confident skier and hadn’t been skiing for a long time he made me feel safe and secure on the slopes. I booked four two hour one to one lessons with Lionel (wish I had booked more!!) and he helped me overcome my fears and taught me amazing techniques to help me. I was almost ready to give up on day one but after my first lesson with him he gave me the confidence and ability to believe in myself again. Not only did I admire his amazing skiing technique but also the way he was willing to help and support ‘everyone’ in need on the mountains. He rapidly called for help when a young girl and her friend broke their ski whilst mentoring me down the slopes. He was able to multitask extremely well and I knew I was in safe hands!!! I’m already looking forward to skiing more with Lionel on my next skiing holiday ⛷️❄️⛷️❄️

We booked a full week of lessons where we learned with Flo for 3 hours every morning in a group of 6-8, on the learn to turn course. We started from the very basics of putting our skis on (having never done it before) and throughout the week we progressed to being able to go parallel with each turn, from nursery slopes, to greens, and then blues. The learning curve was incredible, the way we were taught was so carefully thought out, so that whenever we progressed to the next stage we were able to adapt without undoing the techniques we’d already been practicing. I don’t think I could’ve learned a better way. I’m by no means an expert skier by the end of the week, but I’ve achieved the weeks objectives and had so much fun doing it. Flo was an incredibly patient and wise, even with larger groups he was constantly making notes of everyone’s performance and giving comprehensive feedback, which I then had the afternoon to work on in my own time. I’ll definitely be using this school again next time I’m back In tignes! Thanks Flo!

We booked Yeti 2 for our 7 year old who had never skied on snow before. When we turned up we could see immediately that we should have booked Yeti 1. There was no problem and he was changed groups before they set off with no difficulty. We couldn't have asked for a better first ski experience for him. The instructor, Fanny, made the lessons fun and engaging and our son couldn't wait to get back on his skis in the afternoon with his dad (a ringing endorsement for how much fun he was having). The group size was great - I think there were 5 in his group. Preferable to the 9 we saw in other group lessons. The booking process was also quick and efficient (we were let down by another supplier 2 days before we arrived). We would definitely return to Evolution2.

A BIG thank you to the whole team, and more specifically to Anna, for helping my 2 and a half year old daughter have a superb first morning of skiing. She clearly felt at ease with you and came home with a big smile. The team listens to children and I can only recommend Evolution 2 in Tignes for the first time. Thanks again!!!
