Learning, progressing and having fun: this is what awaits young skiers during our kids ski lessons in Val Thorens.
Our kids ski lessons are designed for skiers from 5 to 12 years old of all levels: they are placed from the beginning of the week in a group of adapted level of 12 participants maximum which allows them to learn in good conditions. From those who are just discovering skiing to experienced skiers, everyone can learn at their own pace and progress quickly.
The children are supervised by state-qualified instructors who pass on to them both their knowledge and their passion. Through playful activities, children master elementary and advanced techniques and learn about their environment to ski in complete safety, whatever the slope they tackle. For everyone, Friday is a festive day with the medal ceremony.

Simple and effective
We had a great family week on the slopes! The ski lessons were perfect for the kids; they progressed while having fun. The atmosphere was great, and the team was super friendly. Thank you for these amazing times!
Very helpful, not many kids in the group, only dropped a star as my son said there were long lift waits!
