During the school holiday weeks we offer fun children's skiing groups for ages 6 - 15 years at all levels. Scroll down to see the available courses and please note the skill level recommended for each course. From experience, we know the children under 6 years old are better suited to private lessons. Scroll down to see the children's courses in increasing difficulty and age, from '6-8yrs easy blue' up to '11-15yr hard black freeride' courses.
​
It is important to choose the correct group for you child's ability - please see our skill level page to help with identifying this.
​
Please ensure your child has the following equipment: Skis, boots, poles, helmet, gloves, googles, SPF lip salve, sun cream, lift pass & cash for a drink.
"The kids loved their lessons with George and Pierre. We went with a different school last year and our youngest really had to be encouraged to go each day. This year the lessons were ‘the best part of the holiday’ and his skiing really improved. Thank you!"

Thank you so much Laurent - Phoebe, Rosie, Poppy and Bonnie had so much fun and developed their skills. Their happy faces at the end of each day showed how superb an instructor Laurent was. We will definitely hope to book with him next year!! Best wishes for the summer season!'

"Thanks again for all that you did for us to make our week perfect. The kids really enjoyed all of the sessions (With Pierre, Laurent & George) and were complete novices at the start of the week.
Being able to ski with the children down a green run as a family at the end of the week will live with me forever."

"We were extremely happy with everything about our choice of ski school and instructor. Our young boys LOVED their lessons with Mark, he put them at ease, gave them a great balance of fun vs instruction and we are delighted that they are now keen little skiers who can’t wait to come again. Thank you!"

Ideal for those with 1 week of experience, with confident snow plough turns and experience using drag/chairlifts.
