At the Étoile d’Or level, children will master advanced skills, preparing them for greater skiing adventures.
Each session creates a positive, enjoyable learning atmosphere. At the end of the week, a medal ceremony celebrates their achievements, marking an unforgettable skiing experience in Argentière.

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.

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.
