Programmes for children

Schools in France organise various activities dedicated to younger children.

There is a program dedicated to children aged 2.5 to 4 years old. It is held at the Children's Chalet, located in the Bergers district and situated in a protected area where children can take their first steps on snow and skis in safety and tranquility.

In this program, children will have their first experiences in the world of skiing while having fun in safety, thanks to the professionalism of the instructors and caregivers.

There are three packages to choose from:

- six morning lessons: from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, from Sunday to Friday or from Saturday to Monday

- six afternoon lessons: from 2:15 pm to 4:15 pm, from Sunday to Friday or from Saturday to Monday

- six days lessons: from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 2:15 pm to 4:45 pm, from Sunday to Friday or from Saturday to Monday

Lunch can also be added as an option.

Private lessons

Private lessons are arranged to suit the client’s availability; clients can choose the day and time, subject, of course, to the school’s availability (for this reason, particularly if you are travelling during the high season, we recommend booking your lessons in advance). Lessons are available for a range of disciplines, from alpine skiing to freestyle skiing, freeride skiing, telemark skiing and snowboarding.

Depending on your skill level, you’ll agree on a meeting point for the lesson with the instructor.
