We love it here! So far we have had ski lessons, pick and mix snow activities with the children and various luge and tubing sessions. All have been fantastic! Yes it's busy, particularly at the weekend but it's a wonderful facility and it's great to see it used so much. We will definitely return. I have noticed several comments about... More

I learned to snowboard here, doing the 1-day intensive about 18 months ago. This got me up onto my board and able to link a few turns and gave me a good foundation for a week away. I can definitely recommend the lessons and have been back many times in between holidays in order to practise and to learn new... More

My first trip to Chill Factore was very enjoyable. I booked in advance online and went for two hours on Sunday between 11:30 and 13:30. The website advises to get arrive 1 hour before your booked slope time to allow enough time to collect tickets and hire equipment. I got there an hour early, and to my surprise, it was... More

I wanted to learn the ski basics before my holiday and managed to get a good deal on an 8-hr beginner day lesson. From the moment we went in, the staff were friendly and helpful - to the ticket guy, the clothing hire desk and the equipment desk. I was really nervous and the instructor knew this - we had... More

My daughter has been having lessons on Sundays (it can be busy then!!) and has got quite good at skiing. We've been practicing together. The 3 instructors that she has had so far have all been good and taken an interest in how the children on the course do. They do restrict the numbers on the slope (so book in... More
