What to Expect
Framed by the spectacular peaks of the French Alps, Val Thorens provides the perfect setting for our Pro-Rider ski lessons. These courses are designed for confident young skiers aged 12 to 16 who are eager to push their limits. To take part, your child must already be a strong skier on all types of slopes – including black runs – and at least at the French Ski d’Or level. With a maximum of 8 participants per group, our experienced instructors offer personalised attention as children begin by developing the essentials of freeride, as well as learning to adapt to changing snow conditions.
As the lessons advance, participants will take on more challenging terrain, honing their technique and building confidence on steeper runs. The focus is on high-level skills such as carving, precise edge control, and fluid movement across demanding slopes. By the end of the week, your child will have gained both independence and mastery, ready to enjoy the mountain with greater freedom. Surrounded by its world-renowned alpine landscapes, Val Thorens offers the ideal playground for young skiers to refine their skills and rise to new challenges.
