First skis, first thrills!
For their very first experience on skis, your child will join our beginner ski lessons (Ourson level). Guided by our caring esf instructors, they’ll learn the basics at their own pace: how to move around on skis, glide and stop – and, above all, build their confidence while having fun!

To make things easier for you, nursery care and lunchtime care are also available as optional extras (meals are not provided).

PLEASE NOTE:

All lessons starting at 9.30 am meet and finish at Serre Ratier.

A VALID SKI PASS OR PEDESTRIAN PASS IS REQUIRED.
