We have a snowboard course or a ski lesson adapted for every child! 

Our esf Val Thorens ski instructors will help them to progress, from their very first skiing experiences to top challenges.

The medal ceremony brings the week to an end in a wonderfully festive and friendly atmosphere: a wonderful occasion to make even more super memories with their ski instructors.

It's the beginning of a big adventure with esf . . .

Skiing or snowboarding: lessons for children and teenagers to suit all tastes!
As your children grow up, so does their passion for skiing. At ESF Val Thorens, we're convinced that travelling is a great way to learn, and we'll do everything we can to help your child or teenager reach their potential through an exciting challenge: Alpine skiing!

Helping your children and teens progress with appropriate ski lessons

By taking ski lessons every year with the ESF, children and teenagers can discover, progress and have fun as they work their way up the levels and walk... Or at least 'ski' in the footsteps of their favourite instructors. Whether they're just starting out in Ourson, perfecting their skills in 3ème étoile or racing against the clock in Étoile d'Or, each student in our ski lessons will be supervised with patience and kindness to help them win the medal!

With personalised advice, in group or private lessons, your budding athletes will build their confidence and make the most of the joys of snow and sliding down the slopes. From taking the ski lifts to showing off your ski pass, going downhill to stopping, they'll make progress and become more independent throughout the week with our ESF Val Thorens instructors.
The winter holidays then become a real outdoor adventure, and an opportunity to make new friends and let the good times roll.

Fun and stimulating challenges to reinvent ski lessons for your child

Does your child want to explore new horizons? They might like a snowboard lesson to (re)discover unique and fun sport sensations! Our ESF ski school has also developed lessons for kids who like competition and adventure. Whether ski competition courses for teens or freeride lessons with our Team Rider course, your child will test their limits in the best possible conditions.
 
With the Val Thorens ski pass, they’ll have even more of an opportunity to improve and learn on endless ski slopes, whatever your child or teen’s level and preferred ski discipline. Would you like to follow them on the slopes and challenge them? Discover our adult ski lessons to improve your skiing and progress at your own pace!
