More skiing, less waiting
Groups run with just 2 people and never go above 8, so your instructor sees every turn you make. You spend your time skiing, not waiting.
The week you dreamed of
Overcoming nerves, keeping up with the kids or your first powder turns. Whatever you aim, we'll get you there. Then you can stop staring at your ski tips and start looking at the view.
An instructor who just gets you
Some people want calm, clear steps. Others want a push. Our team comes from all over the world and we'll pair you with the one who clicks, in the language you think in.
Mornings kids can't wait for
New friends, big stories at dinner and a little more independence every day. Then the day they ski the run they didn't think they could, and you get to ski it together.

What our guests say
“Pascal is a great instructor. He’s patient and fun and was able to explain things in a way that really clicked for me. I improved my skiing more in one day than in three weeks of group lessons. Thank you, Pascal!!”
Amy Kouznetsov
“My instructor, Stefano, was superb. He took me from losing my confidence last year and being extremely nervous, to skiing blacks and having fun again! His patience and clarity in instruction greatly helped, it was like everything ‘clicked’ for me this year ⛷️”
Lexi Ferretti
“We couldn’t have had a better experience. We booked 3x 2 hour private lessons for our 2 year old, and by the end of lesson 3 he was in a chairlift and doing a green by himself. All credit goes to Mirko Bez, a brilliant instructor who we couldn’t have asked for more from. I would recommend to anyone.”
Leah Ellis
“Pascal was a great instructor for my 2 children who have never skid before. After 2 x 2 hour lessons they had the basics and could ski easy slopes 🙂 Thank you very much. Would use Ski Gen again.”
Tabitha Quilter
“I had a great 4-hour off-piste skiing lesson. The instructor (Ziga) was absolutely outstanding. I learned a ton and have a whole new level of comfort. Cannot recommend enough.”
Vladimir Kouznetsov
““Amazing, Lorenzo was the best Ski Instructor ever” – Eleanor “Lorenzo was kind, adventurous and showed us cool tricks – Xander It’s our third year with New Gen and as ever the instruction was great and the kids had a great time.”
Matthew Walker
“Pascal was a wonderful instructor who kept us safe and taught us new stuff. Had a blast, recommend him a ton!”
Ignas Paplauskas
“I had a great time snowboarding with Stefano. He was fun, polite, and a great partner to go around the slopes with. I really feel like I improved quite significantly over a week or so. If I manage to get back next season I will definitely book with New Generation again :)”

Skiing in Tignes
Tignes is famous for being high. The glacier reaches 3,456m, most of the pistes are above the treeline. And the off-piste draws freeriders from across the world. If you’re still learning, that can sound like a lot. It isn’t. Tignes and Val d’Isère share 300km of pistes, linking Val Claret, Le Lac, Le Lavachet, Tignes 1800 and Les Brévières with Val d’Isère. The height that brings the experts also brings reliable snow. And every village has free lifts for beginners.
If you’re new, you won’t need a lift pass on your first day. You start in Le Lac, a few steps from our meeting point, on a free magic carpet and the Rosset chair. Once you can turn and stop, you move on to the Lavachet drag and the easy greens above Val Claret. By the middle of the week you’ll be skiing longer runs like Petit Col and Le Lac.
If you’re finding your feet, the wide blues in the bowl between Le Lac and Val Claret are perfect for building confidence. On a clear day, your instructor can take you up the funicular from Val Claret to the Grande Motte glacier, above 3,000m.
Some greens are steeper than the piste map suggests, and above the treeline, flat light can make slope and sky look the same. Your instructor knows which runs to save for later in the week. On grey days, they take you down through the trees towards Les Brévières, where you can see the snow again. So a stormy day is still a good day on skis.
If you want to explore the steep or deep runs, you’re in the right place. Tignes leaves some of its black runs ungroomed on purpose, and the off-piste starts minutes from the lifts. The Vallon de la Sache alone drops 1,200m from the Aiguille Percée to Les Brévières. French law lets ski instructors take you off-piste, but not onto unmarked glaciers, which are for high-mountain guides. So please do let us know if you have a specific goal in mind so we can make sure we put you with the right team member.
Whatever your level, you’ll leave having skied more of Tignes than you thought you could.
