Main information
What to expect
To give children all the tools they need to take advantage of the many challenges offered by the vast Val Thorens and 3 Valleys ski area, our private ski lessons for kids are the ideal formula.
Thanks to a structure adapted to the pace and needs of young skiers, your child will be able to progress rapidly. They will benefit from close and personalized teaching and will be able to gain full confidence on the slopes. Parallel turns, snow ploughing, balance, carving, we focus on the techniques that are best suited to your child. With the more experienced young skiers, we can even explore the rest of the 3 Valleys and venture to Méribel or Courchevel.
Your child can ski with up to seven other friends or relatives. This will ensure a warm atmosphere, and they will be able to share this unique experience with their friends.

Our son loved his introductory lesson and then the second beginner's course. He finished his day practicing blue runs with the family, without any stress. Thank you.

A fantastic lesson for two children. They get all the attention they need and are really engaged with skiing. The wait is shorter than in a large group.

A very competent, patient, and skilled instructor! Great progress after just one week of lessons! And always a little something extra for the children! A hot chocolate during the break, for example…!
