What to Expect

Great for beginners. Very caring and competent. Our daughter discovered her love and enjoyment of skiing after your course, and we had to go skiing again the following week.

Lovely and competent ski instructors. They're great with children. Our daughter (5 years old) hadn't wanted to ski for a while and is very sensitive to new things, but there she managed it on the first day, was very ambitious, and had a lot of fun skiing.

You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
