Private ski lessons in Val d'Isère
Val d'Isère is at the heart of our network — not just a resort we cover, but the one we know best, season after season, from its runs and itineraries to its best addresses.
REQUEST YOUR SELECTIONVal d'Isère and Tignes together form the Val d'Isère–Tignes ski area, one of the largest linked ski areas in the world: around 300 km of pistes between roughly 1,550 m and 3,456 m. Beyond the pistes, there is also extensive natural terrain to explore when conditions and experience allow. That scale is a real asset, and it is also the reason the choice of instructor matters. On a given day, the right place to ski depends on your level, the snow, the weather, the time of year and how busy the slopes are. An instructor who knows the area well makes those decisions for you, so that you spend your time skiing rather than queuing or guessing.
This is why we do not simply allocate the next available instructor. We start with your level, your age, the language you want to speak with your instructor, your personality and what you want from the week. Then we look for the professional in our network who fits. The result is private ski tuition built around you, whether you are taking your first lessons or refining your technique.

“Julien teamed me up with the very wonderful Serge for a week of skiing in Val d'Isère. Serge was amazing — he helped me advance so much faster than I thought possible, and all without ever feeling too far out of my comfort zone. He was constantly assessing where to go for variety, for the quietest slopes and the best available snow, during a very busy and very warm week.”

Questions before you begin
How do you choose my instructor?
We ask about your level, age, language, the kind of stay you want and any specific goal, such as off-piste, performance coaching or skiing as a family. We then propose the instructor from our network who best fits.
Can we ski in Tignes during the same stay?
Yes. The two resorts share a linked ski area, and your instructor can take you across if it suits your level and the conditions.
Do you offer private ski lessons in Val d’Isère?
Yes. We match you with a qualified instructor from our network for private ski and snowboard lessons, lessons for families and children, guided off-piste days and ski touring in Val d’Isère, based on your level, language and goals. Tell us your dates and where you are staying, and we will come back to you with a proposal.
How do I book private ski lessons in Val d’Isère?
Simply send us your dates, skiing level, preferred language and any specific requirements. We personally select an experienced instructor from our network and present our recommendation with the price. Once you’re happy with the proposal, you can approve your quotation online. You’ll then receive an invoice, and your booking is confirmed once payment has been received.

As soon as you know your dates. The earlier we have them, the more choice we have when matching you with an instructor.
