For your children to learn to ski in a privileged and qualitative way, our private ski lessons for kids in Chamonix are the ideal solution.
Private lessons allow personalization of teaching. Our instructor will adapt to your expectations and your child's learning pace. They will create a tailor-made lesson that will meet your child's needs and level, a method that will allow them to make rapid and lasting progress.
The same instructor can take care of up to 4 or 6 children (depending on the lesson's duration), which gives them the chance to ski with their siblings or with friends, provided they are of comparable levels and ages. This small group format allows our instructor to focus all their attention on their students while giving children the opportunity to ski in a warm and fun atmosphere.

Very good, easy booking and a good instructor
Our three year-old daughter went skiing for the first time. Victor of ESF Chamonix made her love skiing!!
Our kids did 4 days of 4 hour private ski lessons in Chamonix this February with Hugo & they absolutely loved it. Hugo was great with them even though they were slightly different abilites and made the lessons really fun. We booked the lessons from a certain ski area but Hugo said he was happy to meet us at different areas which would be better for the boys which definitely made the week a lot more varied for them. Would recommend 5*
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
You must arrive at the first lesson with your equipment (skis and poles or snowboard, and boots). If you do not have your own equipment, make sure to allow enough time to collect it from the rental shop so as not to delay the start of the lesson. Some shops even offer the option of collecting equipment the day before your first day of hire.
Wearing a helmet is compulsory for children in some countries, but it is strongly recommended for everyone, regardless of age.
Unless otherwise stated, you must have your ski pass with you for the first lesson. You can usually buy one at the ski lift office or online. Discounted rates may be available for children or beginners, so check with your ski school to find out which pass is most suitable.
