Amazing ski school! I’ve had two days of private lessons, 2 hrs each day with lovely Tatiana. This lady helped me to get over my fear of skiing and made sure I have my confidence back. She was absolutely brilliant! Now I can’t wait to book another ski trip. I highly recommend the school!

This place is fantastic. The staff are amazing and so helpful. I had a great lesson with Frederico who could not have been more patient as I hadn’t skied for a while. 10/10 and would definitely come back here next time I’m in Val d’Isere.

I booked the adults beginner class for the week while staying in VT. This was my first time skiing and thanks to the fantastic instructor and all of the kind staff at Prosneige I cannot wait to come back again!! I left at the end of the week feeling confident with my skiing and overall had the best time, every minute of the class was enjoyable. Plus my group were all so friendly and everyone was there to help one another. It was like a little family by the end of the week.Big thank you to Philip my instructor & see you again soon :)Jess(already looking at flights to come back out)

We had Milan as our instructor. He was a really good teacher and completely adapted to our needs and matched our expectations. Additionally we had some miscommunication regarding the place of where we would start the classes and the school dealt with it outstandingly. Really good experience will come back next season

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

Details of group ski lessons at the ski school :

We limit the number of students to 10 or even 6 for the 3 year olds. Most importantly, on Fridays we organise a unique medal ceremony.

Ski lessons take place in the morning from 9am to 12pm from Monday to Friday. Or in the afternoons from 14h30 to 16h30.

What makes us special :

First of all, our one and only 200m² chalet on the snow front the starting point for all our lessons :

Then, undeniably, our welcome structure made to make you feel at home. Indeed, our chalet on the slopes, ski in ski out, has all the comfort you would expect and more. A south-facing terrace to admire your little children during beginner ski lessons, a small bar to enjoy a coffee, a hot chocolate or,  maybe at the end of the day something a bit stronger…

The private kindergarten with a magic carpet is located in front of the chalet.

A ski shop area :

In addition, there is also a shop with all the necessary ski accessories : Beanies, gloves, ski goggles. Our main rental shops are in the heart of the village.

You can also exchange your ski equipment. It is even possible to test equipment during ski lessons.

A snack area :

Notably, in our chalet, called “Les Planches”, our team is present from 8am until 6pm. The team is available to welcome you, serve food and drinks in the snack bar and answer any questions.

In addition, you have ski lockers at your disposal to deposit your equipment.

Ski lessons for children from 3 years old in our Val Thorens ski school :

Prosneige has a private kindergarten for ski lessons for children from 3 years old. We therefore have an exceptional structure for ski lessons from the age of 3. We teach with a specific programme. In fact, we teach the youngest children living in Val Thorens, right from the nursery school. This is how we have acquired unrivalled experience.

The ski school instructors :

Our team of 50 ski instructors have of course all high grade French ski teaching diplomas. Also, only in our ski school Prosneige in Val Thorens, will you find profesional training courses.

Teacher’s technical training :

Refresher ski courses focus on the latest carving techniques and on the specific exercises to be carried out per level. Above all, particular attention is paid to safety. Indeed, for the off-piste ski lessons organised by our ski school, our instructors follow special training on snow and avalanches. This is with the ANENA (national association for the study of snow and avalanches). Please visit the ANENA website if you are interested in this subject: https://www.anena.org/7340-formations-nivologie-progression-hors-piste-.htm

Customer relations training at the Val Thorens ski school:

Customer relations and group management training courses take place over the course of each season at our ski school. We also have customer experience sessions. In other words we we do everything possible to make your stay at our ski school in Val Thorens as simple and enjoyable as possible.
