Kids & Adults Snowboarding Lessons (from 8 y.) for All Levels - Val Thorens

About the Activity

What to Expect

Experience the thrill of snowboarding in Val Thorens, the highest ski resort in Europe. Our lessons welcome riders aged 8 and up, whether it is your first time on a board or you are already carving down red and black runs. With its varied terrain and breathtaking alpine scenery, Val Thorens is the perfect playground to learn, progress, and enjoy snowboarding to the fullest.

Beginners start on gentle slopes, mastering the basics of balance, gliding, and turning. As confidence grows, they move on to linking smooth turns and controlling their speed across wider terrain. More experienced riders focus on advanced techniques, refining style, precision, and control on steeper slopes. Each lesson is designed to build a solid foundation while ensuring safety and fun on the mountain.

To provide personalized guidance, lessons are held in small groups of up to 8 participants. This format allows instructors to adapt their teaching to each rider’s level, creating a motivating, supportive, and effective learning experience. Join us in Val Thorens for an unforgettable snowboarding adventure, whether you are just starting out or aiming to perfect your skills.
