CLUB PIOU PIOU for beginners from the age of 4 years old

CLUB PIOU PIOU group ski lessons for children
GROUPS ARE LIMITED To a maximum of 10 young skiers
All lessons are conducted in our safe and friendly kindergarten environment 
Club Piou Piou is the ideal environment to teach children how to understand the first elements of how to ski. At ESF Tignes Val Claret, your child will be introduced to snow, mountain life, skiing and Piou Piou himself!

With our team of qualified ESF instructors, your child will be greeted and settled in to Club Piou Piou where they will immediately meet other children and build friendships. Piou Piou is the talisman character of the ESF and along with his friends, your child will be able to learn through fun, games and subliminal teaching techniques. Once your child has amassed the skills required to join the main ski slopes you will be informed.

Piou Piou's friends are Blanchot (the white rabbit), Sifflote (the marmot) and Garolou (the wolf). Once your child has learned the process of skiing, they will meet Ourson (the teddybear). After a week your child will receive a medal, either the Piou Piou or Ouson.

Your child can also enjoy lunch during the day (booking lunch is optional at the booking stage), in one of the mountain side restaurants in the heart of the resort. Supervised by one of our ESF instructors, this option gives you more time to enjoy skiing or to brush up on your own technique with an adult lesson!

After a week at our Kids Club all children are presented with a medal that signifies progression.


Wearing a helmet is highly recommended for children.

OUR ESF INSTRUCTOR SAYS...
'When you have a small child we recommend enrolling them into Club Piou Piou. This is where they will take their first steps on snow in a safe environment and meet other children and friends to play and learn with'.

Questions / ANSWERS
What happens to my child if the weather turns and it is not nice to be outside?
In case of inclement weather conditions that forces us to take the children indoors,  a multitude of activities are offered to children. We have a games room and a video room (A rest room will also allow them to rest).
How do I dress my child?
Mainly in warm clothes. A warm ski jacket, salopettes or waterproof trousers/suit, Mittens rather than gloves for easy access, a mask of sunglasses in sunny days. Please apply suntan on sunny days pre lesson. Include suntan cream in bag to apply later again in the day.Wearing a helmet is recommended.
Is a lift pass for my child necessary?
At the Kids Club your child will use the magic carpet and the mini slopes before requiring any pass. 
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.
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.
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.
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.
