To start skiing or to keep progressing, our kids' ski lessons in Alpe d'Huez accompany your little champions in all their achievements.
Our ski lessons are open to children from 8 to 12 years old, whatever their level. At the beginning of the week, we form small groups of 7 skiers on average of homogenous level to make learning easier. Beginners will learn the basics of skiing such as snowploughing on the green slopes and then the blue slopes. More advanced children will discover new techniques and gain confidence on slopes of increasing difficulty. Our state-qualified instructors will use their patience and experience to accompany them in their progress.
Our kids' ski lessons are held during the school holidays and take place in the morning. With the staggered start, you will spend a peaceful holiday and have time to come to the meeting point without stress. The week will end with a medal award ceremony, a festive moment to celebrate your children's achievements.
We meet 10 minutes before the start of the ski lessons.
All skiers need a ski pass from the first day of the lessons.
Professor Helena was very friendly. My daughter didn't dread going to class all week. Really positive.
Supervision of the children by a fantastic activity leader
I would wholeheartedly recommend the teachers and their approach to learning in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Our daughters were beginners, and thanks to ESI, they both took to it immediately. Thank you again!
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.
Generally, it is advisable to book lessons as early as possible. This is especially important during school holidays, such as Christmas and February, when lessons can fill up quickly.
