Depending on the ski school, your child can start skiing from the age of two and a half.
About the children's ski area (ski lessons for children)
The criteria for earning the awards and mastering the skills for each level can be found on our Medals page.
Feel free to ask your ski school.
Children acquire skiing skills without even realizing it, thanks to games specially designed for them, whether in the children’s ski area or on specially adapted slopes.
Your child needs a ski outfit, a helmet, ski equipment (no poles), goggles and/or sunglasses, sunscreen, disposable tissues, and a snack in their pocket.
If the children’s ski area is located within the resort itself, no lift pass is required.
Once the child is able to ski independently, the instructor will let you know the day before they move out of the children’s area so that you can purchase a pass for the remainder of the week.
Don’t panic; the instructor is a professional accustomed to these situations, so you should:
leave the child in the instructor’s care at the meeting point and avoid staying with them for too long.
avoid letting the child see you.
avoid any contact before the lesson ends.
