AN ESF GUEST TOLD US...
'I was really happy with the progress made by my son Tim. For his first experiences on snow it was remarkable how he warmed to the instructor and just 'got on with it'.
Must take after his mum! He made friends from the first day and did not want to leave the ski lessons! A big thank you and see you next year!'

f.a.q.
Is a lift pass for my child necessary?
Your child does not need a lift pass just yet.. 
As soon as the level reaches a certain standard we will move your child to slopes that use the free ski lifts offered by the Tignes resort. 
If and when your child reaches the level required to ski on the bigger main slopes, your ESF instructor will make you aware of the lift pass required.
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.
Will my child get a medal?
Yes! Your child will be assessed by our ESF instructors and awarded a medal on the point of progression achieved at the end of the week.  
Medals are awarded every Friday 15 minutes before the end of your child's class.
Are the ESF instructors qualified to teach children?
Of course. Each instructor trains for many years before they can teach skiing. One of the first tests they must validate is to teach younger people how to ski. Our instructors are therefore qualified to supervise young children.
