Is it your child's first time skiing?

They will start with the Ourson level in the safe environment of the kindergarten. Throughout the week, children will gain confidence on their skis and have fun under the guidance of their instructor in a friendly atmosphere. The goal is for them to master the basic techniques to get comfortable with slopes, and most importantly, to have fun with their friends.

Will my child earn a medal?
Yes! Each child receives their ski medal at the end of the week !
The medal ceremony takes place every Friday, 15 minutes before the end of your child's lesson.
Does my child need a ski pass?
No, the ski pass is not necessary for children beginners registered at Pioupiou Club. (Our garden has its own lifts, allowing children to learn skiing in the best conditions and safely)
Does my child need to bring a snack?
If you can put a cereal bar in the pocket it will help if your child gets hungry.
I have booked a course at esf, do I have the guarantee that it will take place?
The organization of the course is guaranteed for a minimum number of participants depending on the type of course chosen. If the number of students is not sufficient, we will offer private lessons.
Do I need to equip my child with protections?
For children and adults, wearing an helmet is highly recommended for skiing or snowboarding!
Are instructors qualified to teach young children?
Of course, each instructor trains for many years before they can teach skiing. One of the initial tests they must pass involves teaching skiing to young children. Our instructors are therefore fully qualified and certified to work with young children.
