VAL D’ISERE ARRIVAL GUIDE – MEETING POINT
Joining us on foot
We’re on the snow front in Val Village, just a quick slide or steps from the main lift area. You’ll see our green Prosneige signs for our Prosneige Ski School Office & Shop and our flags on the snow front at the Place des Dolomites.
Join us using the resort shuttle (navettes)
Hop off the bus at the ‘Tourist Office’ stop in Val d’Isere Centre. Pass though the stone arches & you’ll be just a few steps from the snow front. Simply follow the ‘Joining us on foot’ directions.
Joining us on skis
Once you arrive at the Main Lift Area, keep on the slope and pass the start of the Solaise Telecabine. Keep going straight ahead & make your way to the snow front between the Hotel Le Yule & the Hotel Mademoiselle. You’ll then see our Prosneige Base Camp & our Prosneige Flags.

KIDS GROUP LESSONS
Brown Bear & White Bear Group Lessons
On the first morning, our Instructor Team will be working together to welcome all of our Brown & White Bear Skiers.
The Brown Bear & White Bear groups will be organised by the Instructor Team after their evaluation. The groups are not fixed & we can change the groups depending on the progression of your skier.
The Medal Ceremony
Every Friday, 15 minutes before the Group Lessons end, we host a medal ceremony for all of our Kids Group Lessons. Chat to our Instructor Team over a Hot Chocolate (with or without a dash of Chartreuse) about what your skier or snowboarder has achieved over the week.
Snack Time
All of our Kids Groups will have mid-morning or mid-afternoon pause to re-charge the batteries! Hot chocolate is included, but do pop a snack into their pocket & some cash if they are heading out on to the slopes.
ADULT GROUP LESSONS
Your Instructors will be waiting in front of the Prosneige flag that matches your group level. We often have more than one group at each level running. So if there are more than 6 participants in the group – don’t panic! The first 2 mornings are for getting your snow legs back & for our Instructors to assess the groups. We’ll then ensure you are in the right group that advances at your level & with the right number of participants.
First Time & Beginner Adults
We understand that learning to Ski or Snowboard can be a daunting process! So to make those first lessons on the slopes a little easier:
- If you are booked into our First Time or Beginner Plus Group Ski Lessons, bring along your aprés ski footwear & so that you can leave your ski boots with us when you are done for the day.
- Need a helping hand to get your ski boots on & fastened or navigating the meeting point – Our Prosneige Team are here to help.
- You can leave the poles in our Ski Storage for the first morning as they won’t be needed (just don’t forget which ones were yours!)
PRIVATE LESSONS
You’ll find our Prosneige Team & your Instructors at our Prosneige Flags on the snow front directly in front of our Shop & Ski School Office. Not sure where to go? Our Prosneige Team will be there to help.
A – F
G – M
N – Z
Not sure where to go? Our Prosneige Team will be there to help – you’ll find Raphael & Diane in their Prosneige Team jackets, and they’ll find your Instructor.
How are we doing?
We like to know what you think or what we could do better. After your first lesson we’ll send you a SMS so you can let us know how your lesson went.
If your lesson didn’t go as planned, then we’ll give you a call to find out why. By all means feel free to pop in to the Ski School Office & speak to us directly – we’ll do our best to find a solution!
Which Lift Pass?
For all of our Group Ski & Snowboard Lessons – you’ll need a Val d’Isere/Tignes lift pass (Val d’Isere only is available on a daily basis for beginners)
To make life easier at the barriers, pop your lift pass into a pocket on the left hand side of your jacket or trousers.
For those aged under 8 years, their lift pass is free! You’ll need to pick this up at the lift pass office & take along proof of their date of birth.
If you have booked one of our Beginner Ski Passes with your lessons – your Instructor will give you the pass at the start of your first lesson.
