Group ski lessons

ESF is the oldest ski school in Val Thorens and has over 200 different instructors ready to help you make the most of your ski holiday.

All their instructors are fully qualified to the highest standards. The majority of their instructors speak English and English speaking instructors will be assigned to English clients.

Adult Group Ski Lessons are a great way to learn to ski surrounded by new friends learning at the same level and these can be booked for five or six days and you can select from half day morning or afternoon or full day options. Times vary depending on the dates, due to school holidays. ESF will also organise your lift pass for you, so you can be sure to have the correct pass for which part of the mountain you will be exploring.

Children Group Ski Lessons for ages 4 to 12 years - Your children can progress through all stages and star levels. In a friendly group of children at the same level of ability, with the advice of their instructor, your child will gain confidence, progress at their own pace and master their skis, techniques and terrains. On Friday, to acknowledge the passing of their level, ability and progress made during the week they will be awarded with a medal to take home. Children can also learn to snowboard from seven years old, should they wish to try something different.

The Etoile groups have lessons during the morning, midday, afternoons and all day with some including lunch option.

For teens from 13 years - keep them entertained with a Teen Rider course or expand on their freestyle skills with a specifically designed course based in the snowpark with personalised video correction. They can also take Snowboarding lessons if they would like to learn a different skill.
