Children’s Village - Age 4-5 years

The children learn to ski in a safe environment, in the enclosed children’s garden.  There are tests and the end of the week, where the children can get their medals (Piou Piou, Ourson, Flocon & 1^st Star), depending on their ability.  Children with the required level will progress to skiing outside the enclosed garden. 

Piou Piou Club

Children aged 3 (skiing)

Piou Piou Club, situated in La Croisette, is part of the ESF Ski School and is designed to introduce 3 year olds to skiing. Children will do 2 hours of lessons in the morning so that skiing is a pleasure and game and then have lunch in the centre’s restarant. The afternoon includes the possibility of a nap, snow shoe walking in the Croisette area, sledging and inside games.  Children are taught by fully qualified instructors in a protected area featuring special equipment including magic carpets, mini-ski tows, a rope tow, structures and welcoming figures to encourage learning.  This course is only available on a full day basis and it is possible to either collect your child at lunchtime or add additional lunchtime care and a meal.

Private Lessons

Private instructors are available to provide a whole range of services from taking a private instructor to yourself for an hour, to engaging the services of an instructor for the whole week to work on a dedicated basis with your group.  This gives the maximum flexibility to exploit the instructor perhaps by using him or her for adults in the morning and kids in the afternoon, or for beginners for 2 hours and experts for the remainder of the day!

The instructors we use are from the “Ski School” division of ESF who all speak fluent English and are more accustomed to working with English guests. The meeting point can be flexible and it may be possible to start your lesson from your accommodation.

The price varies according to high or low season. High season dates are 19^th December to 1st January and from 6^th February to 5^th March.  All other dates are at the low season price.  Lesson times also vary according to the time of the year. Please see the table below for the times available at each stage of the season.
