Our group lessons bring together small groups of children of a similar ability, with a maximum of six, to ensure effective learning and continuous progress. Our qualified instructors tailor their teaching methods to each child, in a supportive and motivating atmosphere.
All levels, all subjects.
Find the course that’s right for you.
Thank you for the skiing and snowboarding lessons for my 7-year-old son.
He had a brilliant time with Andrea on the skis and with Flo & Fede on the snowboard, and he loved their professional yet friendly approach.
He can’t wait to come back and see them again! I highly recommend them to everyone!
A highly competent, dynamic and helpful team.
You can count on excellent service and great friendliness, whether you’re hiring equipment or booking ski lessons.
A brilliant experience, as always at Neva Val d’Isère. I highly recommend them and will definitely be back.
What a brilliant team!
My ski lesson really helped me improve; in just three hours I’d got the hang of the basics.
There’s a great atmosphere there – they’re welcoming, energetic and give great advice.
I can’t wait to go back!
My family and I have been coming to Neva in Val d’Isère for three years now.
Whether it’s the ski school or the shop, everything is perfect. We see the team every morning and every evening, always with a big smile. The children are having a brilliant time on their ski lessons.
Thank you, Raph, for these moments with you; thank you, Diane, for the incredible organisation; thank you, Zeli, Mat and Body. We can’t wait to see you all again next year.
It was a brilliant experience for our first group ski lesson.
Raphaël was, as always, in good spirits, attentive and very patient.
Tamara, who took over, was full of useful advice and really put us at ease (especially me, with my fear of heights on the chairlift 😂)
Thank you both!
Born from a passion, driven by a conviction
Founded in Val-d’Isère by Raphaël, a state-certified ski instructor, NEVA was born out of a simple belief: learning to ski should be as personal as it is challenging.
Formerly known as Prosneige Val-d’Isère, the school now asserts its own identity under the name NEVA. This new name reflects an unchanged ambition: to offer personalised support, based on small groups, a relationship of trust and the joy of progressing together.
Each season, NEVA supports over 2,500 skiers, from their first attempts on the slopes to off-piste adventures. All its instructors share the same values: kindness, high standards and a passion for teaching.
The right level depends on your child’s experience. If they’ve never skied before, start with Wolf club (from age 4) or Neva 1 (from age 5). If they’ve already mastered the snowplough, Neva 2 opens up the blue runs. If they can ski in parallel, Neva 3 takes them onto the red runs. The Bronze, Silver, Gold, Pro and Legend levels are for experienced to elite skiers. If in doubt, choose the level that best matches their current ability: our instructors will adjust it from day one if necessary.
Yes, a ski pass is required to access the slopes. The good news is that it’s free for children under 8 in Val d’Isère.
The lunch club is a separate option, available as an add-on to all our packages. If you add this to your booking, your child will be taken to have lunch at the Avalin restaurant in Val d’Isère, then brought back to the lesson meeting point at 2 pm.
Yes, absolutely. If your child is progressing faster than expected or if the group isn’t quite the right level for them, we’ll assess their progress and can move them to a more suitable group as early as the following day.
Our group lessons are open to children aged 4 and above in our Wolf club level. Each child is assessed on their first day so they can be placed in the group that best matches their ability, from Wolf club right up to the Legend level for the most advanced learners.
Our group lessons bring together up to six children of the same level with one instructor; this is our standard format. It encourages healthy competition, builds confidence within the group and fosters a genuine learning atmosphere throughout the week, all at an affordable price. Private lessons are one-to-one with the instructor; they are more intensive and lack the group dynamic. We believe that with six children per group, we retain the best of personalised support without losing the magic of group learning.
The half-day option (3 hours, morning or afternoon) provides a suitable pace for making progress while leaving time to spend with the family. It can also be more comfortable for younger children by helping to limit fatigue.
The full-day option (6 hours, including a lunch break) gives students more time to consolidate their skills through extended practice and repetition throughout the day. It also gives parents greater freedom to organise their own day.
From intermediate level onwards, this additional practice time can make a noticeable difference to a student’s progress by the end of the week.
Our programme is structured across nine logical levels. Wolf club is for absolute beginners. Neva 1, 2 and 3 cover progression from snowploughing to red runs. Then come Bronze, Silver and Gold for children ranging from advanced to expert level. Finally, there are Pro and Legend for teenagers of a very high standard. Each level has its own terrain, objectives and badge awarded at the end of the week.
Yes, and that’s often when they really come into their own. With six children per group, your child has time to settle in without feeling overwhelmed. Our instructors are trained to spot the more reserved children and build a sense of trust. Most of the time, the group dynamic works in their favour: seeing others take the plunge makes it easier for them to give it a go.
Each child leaves with their badge (Wolf club, Neva 1 to 3, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Pro or Legend) and a medal presented by their instructor. These awards reflect their progress and encourage them to return the following winter to reach the next level. They also provide a recognised point of reference across all ski schools.
