Located at the summit of the Belleville Valley and a gateway to the famous 3 Valleys. This family friendly, high altitude & snow sure resort has easy access to an extensive network of over 600km of pistes. Come & learn their secrets with our Prosneige Val Thorens Team of passionate Ski & Snowboard Instructors.

Whether on slope or off-piste – join us for an unforgettable experience.

Group Lessons with Prosneige Val Thorens:

Mornings, Afternoons or both! Our Group Lessons are in small groups of 8 Skiers or Snowboarders with each of our Instructors. We think that this size group is perfect for meeting new friends, quick progression, exploring the resort & a more personalised lesson experience.

We love sharing our passion for the mountains with our Childrens Group Lessons for 5 to 13 year olds. No matter whether it’s their first snow experience, gaining confidence, perfecting those parallel turns or pushing their limits on more advanced terrain. Fun and safety is paramount.

Don’t forget that for the Childrens Group Lessons, we organise a medal ceremony every Friday – bringing their week to a fitting close.

Have Little Snow Explorers?

They can take their first slides with us from 2yrs old. Join our Baby Ski or Mini Riders for 2-3 year olds, or our Little Bears Group Lessons for 3 & 4 year olds.  With our very own Prosneige Ski Garden at our slope-side hub: Chalet Les Planches.  Complete with a Little Bear Room & our Café for hot chocolate & snack breaks. Its a perfect spot to take to skis. Above all – it’s all about having fun (medals included!)

Prosneige Ski School Val Thorens Private Lessons

Private Lessons are perfect for skiers and snowboarders seeking a more bespoke lesson option.  Maximise your time on the slopes with one of our qualified instructors, 100% dedicated to your goals and progression.

One-to-one or with friends and family – Prosneige Ski School Val Thorens caters for all levels of skiers & snowboarders. Whether you are starting your snow adventure, perfecting your technique or ready to discover the vast off-piste – our instructors will be at your side to ensure your safety and progress.

My instructor Philippe (in Val Thorens) was amazing! I could notice that he enjoys teaching people and that makes a difference. He was super nice and really helped boost our confidence on the slopes. He knew exactly how to push us just enough to improve while keeping us safe. Even in group lessons, he somehow managed to give personalized tips to each of us. And his reminder to focus on enjoying ourselves made all the difference, which is something easily to forget for beginners. Merci, Philippe , for helping me improve in one week and reminding me to have fun!

Fijne ski/snowboardschool. Na 1ste groepsles een bericht gekregen over hoe de les ervaren is. Feedback gegeven en hier werd serieus op in gegaan. Merkte dat mijn niveau van snowboarden iets hoger lag dan mijn groepje (was al “expert” groep) en hierdoor soms moest wachten. Was overigens wel fijn om even terug te gaan naar de basis en hierop uit te bouwen. Docent was erg fijn, geduldig en had leuke humor.Volgend jaar zal ik terug gaan naar Prosneige maar dan waarschijnlijk voor privéles

The best ski school and instructors, I arrived as a really nervous absolute beginner and Milan taught me the essentials along with building my confidence. He adapted the lessons as I was progressing and was extremely patient. I can’t rate highly enough. I even booked more lessons throughout the week and I enjoyed them so much. Thanks Milan.

A big thank you to all the team at Prosneige Val D’Isere. My son Alexander first attended ski school in 2020 and was looked after by Alex. We were back again last week and he was looked after this time by Nicholas and Julian. Both times he has got on so well and all instructors have been amazing!! He is so well looked after and his skiing has come on amazing! Thank you for looking after my boy! I would 100% recommend this ski school and we will definitely be back! Thank you again! ⛷🎿❄️

We have been there for the new year holiday, and haven’t got any ski experience before. Cuz we are living in Hong KONG, Asia there is no winter time will get snowing. 🤪🤪❄️⛄️

It’s the first time we joined the Prosneign Bronze class for snowboard. We spend 6 morning for learning from the very professional & kindness Coach Barbara & Alexis there. Even I am the one didn’t get any idea to play with snowboard but finally I got to enjoy how to snowboarding. It’s wonderful experience been there.

I would highly recommend ppl to join this school when you be there. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 After that week I love snowboard & will keep on this for my interests. 😍😍😍😍

As a mature first time skier (or snow plougher) and a very nervous one at that, I have had the best week with the prosneige ski school . I started in a group of 10 beginners but as a slow learner (along with 3 others )the school accommodated us and found another tutor to allow us to progress at our pace without holding anyone back. As a result I have been challenged ( but not too much) and have found a confidence and love for a sport I never dreamt I would indulge in . I would happily recommend them to friends family and strangers....

Al 4 edities de beste keuze voor onze zoon die op een leuke manier elk jaar grote stappen maakt in de leukste sport 😊
A huge thank you to Alberto at Val Thorens (7-14 Apr )from Veronica and Vanessa. Alberto gave them snowboard group lessons and girls had a great time and done amazingly well . They said will remember this time forever 🙂 Also thank you to Matt? for the very first private snowboard lesson which allowed them to join the group with Alberto. Bad point is ...I will now have to buy 2 snowboards for next season and second roof box 😉
Thank you!!!! ... Highly recommended 🙂

Just had a fabulous week in Les Menuires. Our two kids aged 7 and 6 had an excellent experience with Robbie who made their first week on real snow fantastic. They loved her and also the snow. They can't wait to come back and give it a go again next year. Definitely the best experience I have had with ski lessons anywhere. Thank you!

Top skischool! Onze dochter heeft fantastisch les gekregen. Zij is 3,5 jaar en heeft met de leraren Andrea en Tom super veel geleerd en dat met erg veel plezier! De eerste ervaring voor een kind is toch heel belangrijk, zij vindt het nu echt geweldig om te skiën! Andrea heeft veel geduld, maakt plezier en is een professional! Tom sloot aan en kon in het Nederlands er een feestje van maken, ook hij deed het super! Zeer vriendelijke en professionele skischool die ik iedereen aanraad! Dank heren!!!

Reeds 2 jaar na elkaar hadden we met onze kleindochter (nu 5j) in deze skischool een super goede ervaring!
Schitterende leerkrachten (Merci Theo en Louis) die het kind en het plezier op de eerste plaats zetten en beperkte groepen!
Als het van ons af zou hangen mocht Prosneige in elk skidomein een basis hebben!

Really impressed with Prosneige. Thanks for looking after both my girls in ski school. They had a fab time and improved so much in their week with you. Have used ESF before but Prosneige instructors were so much more child friendly and fun and really made an huge effort with my 3 yr old who was not keen on me leaving her every morning, but returned every lunch time with a huge grin on her face. Would definitely use again �

Stopping by to Thank you all for the amazing week our Son Rauri had in Ski School.
We have skied with other well known ski schools but i have to say Prosneige were just fantastic, the enthusiasm encouragement and professionalism , hard to beat. Please pass on our thanks to the instructors.

I snowboarded with Michael on private lessons, he too was encouraging, professional and a great tutor. I had great fun on the mountain and im looking forward to coming out again.

Everything from the booking process, enrolling Rauri on to the lunch time programme was seamless!

Thank you Prosneige!
Wat een super goede ski school me zoontje met adhd heeft er een top week gehad. Na wat uitleg en tips hoe met hem om te gaan is het echt super gegaan. Hij is daar hele dagen geweest en heeft veel geleerd en in de middag heerlijk gespeeld en erg lekker gegeten. Wij komen zeker nog een keer terug. Jullie zijn dan ook echte toppers
