Skiing or Snowboarding?

Beginner or Intermediate Course?

To ensure everyone gets the most from their session, we offer two skill levels:

  • Beginner Course: Perfect for first-timers, where the focus is on learning the basics—balance, turns, and safely navigating the slopes with control.
  • Intermediate Course: Ideal for those with some prior experience looking to refine their skills. This course focuses on improving technique, control, and confidence on steeper slopes.

Tailored to Age Groups

To make the lessons both productive and enjoyable, we have split the ski school into two age-specific groups:

  • Valle’s Ski School (5–7 years): A playful and fun-filled experience for the youngest skiers, turning each lesson into an exciting little adventure.
  • Youth Course (8–13 years): A dynamic and challenging environment for older children, where instructors help build advanced skills and confidence. Perfect for young skiers and snowboarders ready to take things to the next level.
