About the Activity
What to Expect
For beginner skiers, our kids ski lessons in Chamonix on the Savoy ski area will allow them to discover the basics of skiing easily.
Our kids ski lessons are aimed at all young skiers from the age of 5, from Bear to 1st Star. At the beginning of the week, they will be placed in the group corresponding to their skills and will benefit from a program tailored to their needs to progress in a good mood. They are supervised by our state-certified instructors who provide them with personalized support and help them master new techniques.
Your children will be able to ski in the Savoy ski area right in the valley, accessible on foot from the centre of Chamonix. It is ideally suited to beginners skiers and allow them to ski at their own pace, away from the crowds, thanks to adapted green slopes. Thanks to dynamic teaching methods and a friendly atmosphere, your children will be ready for the test at the end of the week, which they will win hands down!

Meeting Time
We meet five minutes before the kids ski lessons.
Lunch Care
Your children can be cared for by the instructors during lunchbreak (meals and lunch care). You can book it directly on site.
Ski Pass
Kids do not need a ski pass for the first day of the lessons. The instructor will advise you when to buy it.
Very good. I couldn't book ESF ski lessons in Chamonix for my children directly on the ESF website due to a lack of places, so I used this site instead, and everything went smoothly, including the ESF/this site communication when confirming their registration with the ESF instructors.
