WHAT IS A GROUP LESSON?

At ESF Tignes Val Claret, Group Lessons are popular in all disciplines from Skiing, Snowboarding and in Nordic Ski. 

A typical Group Lesson can consist of a small number of individuals of the same ability. Individuals are selected at the beginning of the week based on previous ESF experience and class levels achieved. All groups are instructed by an experienced ESF professional equipped for all terrains and conditions.

From complete beginners to the expert skier wanting to improve technique, ESF offer the best access to the slopes, a total discovery of the ski area chosen, unlimited opportunities to improve and fun and friendly instructors. Over 85% of ESF instructors now speak English. 

Group lessons for people with a disability or in need of assistance can also be arranged but will depend on an individuals needs or requirements. In this case please speak directly with your chosen ski school.

WHAT IS 'PIOU PIOU'?

Piou Piou is the talisman of the ESF children's kindergarten and teaching experience. Piou Piou is a large yellow chick that will greet your children as they enter our Piou Piou children's areas. 
The process of teaching very little ones to ski from 3 years onwards is based on fun and fun alone. It is impossible to make a 3 year old fully understand the process of skiing. Therefore, it is with Piou piou and friends, that the world of winter sport comes alive!

Piou Piou has 4 friends that help the process become more understandable:
Blanchot - the White Rabbit - This character depicts the stage of learning by teaching your child to move down a slope and stop naturally without effort.
Sifflote - the Marmot - This character depicts the stage of learning by teaching your child to make snowplough actions to slow down under control.
Garolou - The Wolf - This character depicts the stage of learning by teaching your child to turn on snowplough away from the wolf!
Titourson - The White TeddyBear - This character depicts the stage of learning by teaching your child to ski all the processes of the above to a safe level and stop on their own accord.

Your child will then receive the OURSON badge as the first level of ESF.
