Children's lessons: discover new sensations !

Whether they join group lessons or Super 6 lessons, they will enjoy a friendly and supportive atmosphere as they learn the basics and gain confidence on skis. In groups tailored to their level, your children will quickly find their place and make new friends to liven up their holiday week.

The ESF Val Thorens team will supervise your budding skiers with fun exercises and a proven teaching approach for a safe, enjoyable and motivating experience.

Teen lessons to learn and challenge yourself

Group and Super 6 lessons are available for children up to the age of 15. Teenagers can learn to ski or snowboard in optimal conditions, regardless of their level.

With the help of instructors on their first slopes, they will be able to progress quickly and put their new skills into practice.

If your children are budding adventurers or born competitors, their stay in Val Thorens can also become a sporting challenge. The Team Rider, Junior Competition and Competition courses will encourage your children and teenagers to push themselves both on and off the slopes.

With off-piste and slalom, they can enjoy an exciting holiday with ESF lessons!

Get back on the slopes safely with our adult lessons

If you want to introduce your children to winter sports by taking lessons with them, a lack of practice or old injuries may prevent you from joining them on the slopes.

You could make the most of your young skiers' activities by taking an adult lesson. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced skier, you can enjoy your stay and (re)discover the joys of skiing with an instructor.

Whether you choose skiing or snowboarding, you'll build your confidence and hone your technique. It's an opportunity to assess your level and feel more comfortable on the slopes for your next outings with family or friends.

You can also opt for off-piste lessons or bespoke ski touring sessions to try something new and experience the Val Thorens ski area in a different way.
