New Generation is an independent ski school that's been running for over 20 years, that we have worked with very successfully for many seasons in the 3 Valleys and are now delighted to be working with in Val d'Isère.

They have 14 instructors based in Val d'Isère (another 6 based in Tignes); all are selected based on their excellent coaching skills, most are British – but all speak very good English (so can make analogies and explanations that you can more easily understand, encourage questions and discussion to help you progress faster and hopefully have more fun). Their focus is on “coaching” rather than “instruction”. Their instructors base lessons on the key principles of all learning – a combination of doing, watching, thinking, listening and feeling. All their instructors hold the BASI International Ski Teacher Diploma, membership of the International Ski Instructors Association and full entitlement to teach in France.

They run group and private lessons for skiers and snowboarders of all ages and abilities. They also offer clinics for higher level skiers and boarders who want to develop technique or get off a plateau.

Their meeting point is near to the Solaise Express lift in the centre of Val d'Isère.

The ESF is the biggest ski lesson operator in Val d'Isère, offering group and private ski, snowboarding and cross country lessons, as well as heliski, off-piste, and snowshoeing. They have nearly 250 English-speaking instructors.

Our past experience of group lessons offered by the ESF has not been great (issues mainly with language and/or excessively large group sizes – especially at peak periods). However they have some excellent private instructors and guides and we would recommend them for private lessons.

The ESF also operates a kindergarten (Club Piou Piou) for children aged 3 years to 5 years. Here, the children can play and try skiing for the first time in the large, enclosed snow field with inflatable figures, snowmen and a ski tow.
