See availabilityBuilt for teenage skiers.
Pro-Rider is designed for advanced teenage skiers who want more from their week on the mountain. With morning or full-day options depending on the resort, they’ll build confidence, improve their technique and discover new ways to ski.
Progress without the pressure.
The focus is on progression, but never at the expense of fun. Our instructors keep sessions engaging and varied, helping teenagers challenge themselves, try new things and develop their skiing in a relaxed, supportive environment.
More terrain. More skills.
From steeper pistes and moguls to freestyle features and off-piste terrain, Pro-Rider gives teenagers the chance to explore different styles of skiing and develop a broader set of skills across the mountain.
Snowboarding teens.
Our teen snowboard lessons are designed to help every rider progress at their own pace. Beginners build strong foundations, while more experienced snowboarders work on technique, control and style alongside others of a similar age and level.
In Megève: Choose from five- or six-day group lessons, with morning, afternoon or full-day options depending on the resort and the week.

Will my teenager be with other teenagers?
We do our best to place teenagers with others of a similar age, but level always comes first. Our priority is to make sure everyone is in the group that best matches their ability.
Can they join an adult lesson?
Yes. From age 13, teenagers can join our adult groups, from Discovery through to Steep & Deep. This can be a great option for confident young skiers who are already comfortable on the slopes.
How do we choose the right level?
Choose the level that best matches their ability today, rather than the level they’re aiming for. At the first session, the instructor will check their level and move them to another group if needed.
Can two friends of different levels be together?
Not in our group lessons. We place teenagers with others of a similar ability so everyone can progress at the right pace. If they’d like to ski together, a private lesson is the best option.
Is the snowpark on the programme?
Yes. Our more advanced levels may include freestyle, snowpark or a little bit of off-piste when snow conditions and the terrain allow. The instructor will decide what is suitable depending on the day and the level of the group.
What language is the lesson in?
French and English are available in every resort. Depending on the resort, lessons may also be available in Dutch, Italian or Spanish.
