Valmorel Ski Lessons

The ESF Valmorel runs the Club Piou-Piou programme for children aged 3+, providing a fun and gentle introduction to skiing in a secure, purpose-designed snow garden. From the age of four or five, children can typically progress into the main children's group lesson structure, working through the ESF's award scheme - Flocon - and then the star grades - at their own pace. Group lessons for children aged 6–12 are available in morning, lunchtime and afternoon sessions, with multiple meeting points across the resort depending on ability level.

Group lessons are the most popular option and are well-suited to most learners. Classes are grouped by ability level, allowing everyone to progress together at a similar pace. They're also a more affordable option than private tuition. Private lessons, on the other hand, offer one-on-one (or small group) instruction with a dedicated ESF instructor, fully tailored to your specific goals - whether that's conquering a fear, improving a particular technique, or venturing off-piste for the first time. Private lessons accommodate up to three participants, provided they're at a similar level.

Yes. ESF Valmorel offers snowboard instruction alongside ski lessons, for both adults and children. Private snowboard lessons are available, and group snowboard lessons may also be offered depending on demand during your stay. If snowboarding is your priority, it's worth contacting us advance to confirm availability and book your preferred format. Carré Neige insurance is recommended for both snowboarders and skiers.
