About the Activity
What to Expect
Our Kids' ski lessons in Val Thorens are the best way to learn how to ski or master new techniques.
In these ski lessons, we welcome all kids aged between 5 and 12 years, whether they haver never skied before or would like to further develop their existing skills. Our experienced instructors teach the kids in groups of 5 to 8 participants. Beginners will learn the basics, discover snowploughing and make their first attempts on skis, leading to their first turns. Experienced skiers will gain confidence on their skis, strengthen what they already know and discover parallel skiing and even carving for the more advanced. In doing so, a playful and fun-based teaching approach is used. The course's aim is also to encourage kids to embrace creativity, humour, and to generate enthusiasm for skiing.
But these lessons offer more than “just” ski instruction. Our kids' ski lessons also involve a foreign language component. This means, for French-speaking participants English and for the English-speaking kids the French language. Every course day has a special theme to remember. Furthermore, every Thursday is “crazy helmet”-day and on Fridays, the group enjoys a small party with presents.
Meeting Time
- Sunday: 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
- Monday - Friday: 9 am to 12 pm
We meet at the meeting point, 10 minutes before the start of the lesson.
Equipment Rental
Helmets are mandatory and not included in the course price.
Ski Pass
All skiers need a ski pass from the first day of the lessons. You can buy your ski pass at the ski lift ticket office or online before the first lesson.
These ski lessons in Val Thorens receive outstanding feedback, especially from families with children. With almost all of the 27 reviews rating the experience five stars, parents consistently praise the friendly, patient, and professional instructors. Many highlight the small group sizes, which allow for significant learning progress, with kids who had "never skied before" confidently taking on blue runs by the end of the week. While a Dutch-speaking teacher wasn't always available, reviewers noted this wasn't an issue. The school is highly recommended for a fun and effective learning experience for young skiers.

My daughter Lucie had a fantastic week with Ski Cool in Val Thorens, in a group of six, with a friendly and professional instructor. We saw her progress throughout the week. Thank you to Julien and Véro! The welcome at the office was also very friendly.

What should I wear for my lessons?
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
When should I collect my equipment?
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.

Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Where can I buy a ski pass?
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
