Vallée Blanche – Beginners’ area

The Vallée Blanche beginners’ area is an ideal playground to learn skiing and snowboarding at all ages.

Located above the start of the cable car, on the sunny plateau of Plan-Praz with a breathtaking view of the Dents du Midi, the Vallée Blanche beginners' area offers the best conditions for learning to ski and snowboard.

It is possible to take part in private or group lessons, accompanied by a qualified instructor for an optimal and safe skiing experience.

Accessible with a Leysin skipass, the Vallée Blanche lift is an easy-to-use "conveyor belt" under a glass tunnel.

Need a break between two runs? At the top of the lift, you will find a food truck offering snacks and drinks as well as a yurt that can be used to eat a picnic.
