About the Snow Garden / Ski lessons for kids
Everything you need to know to make your child’s first turns on the slopes a wonderful experience!
Depending on the packages offered by ski schools, a child’s first skiing experiences can begin as early as age two and a half.
You can find details regarding the skills required for each level, as well as the criteria for earning them, on our “Medals“ page. Should you have any further questions, our team is at your disposal to provide information.
Through fun exercises and games designed for their age group, children gradually discover the basics of skiing while having a great time. Lessons take place in the children’s area or on slopes suited to their skill level.
For the lesson, your child needs suitable ski wear, a helmet, and skis (without poles). Also, please provide ski goggles and/or sunglasses, sunscreen, some tissues, and a small snack to slip into their pocket.
When the initial sessions take place in the resort’s children’s ski area, your child does not need a lift pass. Once they are independent enough to ski on the slopes, the instructor will let you know the day before they move to the main ski area. You can then arrange the necessary pass for the following days.
No need to worry
Our instructors are experienced in looking after children who may feel a little anxious when saying goodbye. To help the lesson get off to a smooth start, we recommend that you:
- Hand your child over to the instructor as soon as you reach the meeting point, without prolonging the farewell.
- Move away quickly so your child can focus on the lesson without looking around for you.
- Avoid contact during the session and wait until the lesson ends to reunite with them.
- This approach generally helps children settle in more easily and get the most out of their skiing experience.
General questions
Class sizes are kept small to ensure better individual attention for each child. In the kindergarten group, an instructor supervises between 5 and 8 participants maximum. On the slopes, groups consist of 6 to 10 students maximum per instructor.
Lessons go ahead regardless of weather conditions, provided the ski lifts are operating.
Note: In poor weather, please ensure you and your children have clothing that is sufficiently warm and suitable for the conditions.

We strongly recommend having insurance suitable for skiing
