Founded out of passion, driven by a team of instructors chosen for their talent and genuine love of the mountain. Welcome to Neva.
It all began with a passion. As an enthusiast of off-piste skiing and ski touring, I fell in love with Val d’Isère for its village, its beauty, and its exceptional ski area.
It was through teaching that I discovered an unexpected treasure: the people. On these slopes, you meet families, skiers and cultures from all corners of the world. Every encounter is a story. Every student offers a new way to share what we love.
I built Neva around this conviction and around a team of instructors I met along the way, chosen for their talent, their commitment and their sincere love of the mountains.
A school on a human scale, based in Val d’Isère and run by passionate people.
That’s Neva!
Passionate, experienced and attentive, they are at the heart of your experience in Val d’Isère.
We favour a progressive approach, tailored to each person. No pressure, but constant support to help you progress at your own pace — from your first run to the most challenging terrain.
Our approach in a few points
Located right at the base of the slopes, 26 Place des Dolomites, our shop welcomes you at the foot of the runs. Our skimen and instructors work together every day — to ensure your equipment is perfectly matched to your practice and your experience is seamless from start to finish.
