Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A great big thank you to Sam for my private one on one ski lesson this morning.
I am an experienced skier and this was quite simply the best coaching that I have ever had. Fully focused on my individual needs with expert analysis to produce a few key tips and drills to really enhance my skiing. Great chat as well on the lifts. Thank you so much Sam.

I had private lessons with Julio over 3 days he was so patient and helpful especially as I was a bit cautious and nervous.
He explained everything really well and was a great teacher and instructor. I really couldn’t recommend him more, we had a lot of fun and if I come back to Kitzbuhel I’ll definitely book a couple of hours with him as a refresher!
Before my 3 days with Julio, I spent two hours with Bo who was also great and got me comfortable with making my way down a green slope.
My boyfriend spent two days with another instructor from Element 3, and quickly moved from blue slopes to black slopes… all in all we couldn’t recommend Element 3 more!

Giane, my partner, and I wanted to do something monumental on his 30th birthday so we booked snowboarding lessons. Hats off to Kay for making our 2 days of snowboarding making us want to try it more! Very professional but always having a laugh in between lessons made the experience grand. Would definitely recommend him and Element3 ("blue angels" as he mentioned) to any first timer wanting to learn snowboarding! Hoping to come back next season!

Thank you for reviewing our ski school.
What a great way to celebrate your partners' birthday, by learning to snowboard together.
We are really pleased you found our staff to be professional and fun. We will be sure to pass this feedback on to Kay personally.
When your adventure continues next season, we can’t wait to see you shredding the slopes in style.

A great gift for my husband, a paragliding flight from the Hahnenkamm! He is absolutely thrilled. The pilot was experienced, explained everything really well and my brief doubts about whether I had chosen the right gift (what if I send my hubby to his death???) were immediately dispelled. :)
A special thank you to the pilot who waited for us for 20 minutes because we were waiting in the wrong place.
And above all for the free video as a birthday present!
THANK YOU!

Liebe martinaklich,
Bitte entschuldige die späte Antwort.
Vielen Dank für deine lieben Worte. Ja, Tom ist ein spitzen Pilot. Der Flug war sicher ein super Geschenk für deinen Mann. Vielleicht fliegt ihr das nächste Mal gleichzeitig.
Wir freuen uns auf euren nächsten Besuch.
Liebe Grüße,

Great experience learning skiing with instructor Giulio at Element 3 ski school.
First time putting on a ski boots in my life, and managed to learn how to ski during a 4-day private course. Giulio is very patient, professional, and skilled. He’s never tired of pushing me forward and always ready for more practices. Very straightforward and encouraging. He also knows the ski resort inside and out!
People might say that it’s difficult, even impossible, to start skiing after you turn 30 years old. But I guess you can, if you get a good instructor like Giulio!

E3 Mountain Academy was ideal for our 2 teens, aged 13 and 14. They enjoyed being with others from their age group and the lessons were sufficiently challenging. They had been reluctant to go to ski school this year but they liked this option so much that we extended our booking by a day.

Very helpful when i arrived, all seemed to be pretty happy working there. All very easy and can store ski's etc at the shop which is right next to the gondola.
Work took over so i never actually used the ski's, went back to explain, they sympathized and gave me a full refund without me asking.
The only place i'll go next year when, hopefully, i actually ski! Top Job by all

Fantastic e-mountain bike tour with Gabi and Maria as part of the ATTA meeting in Kitzbühel. Great scenery, super green and very good bikes with high battery capacity. It was the first time I've been on a guided bike tour with e-bikes, the best thing about it is that the bikes completely compensate for the level difference in the group, which can otherwise be very annoying for cyclists. Thank you!

My youngest son and I had a great days cycling with Tom on the ebikes. Great outing covering the towns and villages around Kitz. 1st experience on an ebike and it could not have been easier. Fantastic way to get out and about . Would highly recommend as an excursion and Tom was a great guide.

Is there any kind of skiing certification course provided by this school? If yes, can you please let me know the different courses (duration and the rates)?
