Unforgettable first glides

You ask; we answer!

I don't ski - do I need to take my children up to the group lesson meeting point?
Yes, you must bring your children up to the group lesson meeting point and come to collect them from the same place afterwards.
Parents who don't ski can get a pedestrian ski pass for the week, sold at esf and at the ski lifts, to bring your child to the meeting point: l'Etape (1500m).
How will the medal ceremony take place?
Friday will be devoted to your child's test. Your child will be awarded a medal and an ability booklet as a reward for the progress he or she has made.
Are insurance and a ski pass included in the price?
No, insurance and a ski pass are not included in our prices. You can buy your ski pass online with your lesson. We recommend signing up for one of the offers that can be found in the "get insured" section of our useful info.
