Let your little ones aged from 4 to 5 discover the joy of skiing with our kids ski lessons taking place in Samoëns 1600. The lessons commence with an introduction to the Mini Mouse Group, a carefully structured programme designed to cater specifically to young beginners. Here, your child will be part of a small group of 4 to 6 children, allowing for individual attention from our experienced instructors who specialise in child-friendly teaching methods. The focus is on making skiing fun through engaging activities that gradually introduce the basics of the sport.
The lessons take place on real ski slopes, providing an authentic experience that encourages genuine progress. These gentle slopes are perfect for little learners, with an emphasis on ensuring that happy children learn faster. The instructors incorporate play into the sessions, creating a positive association with skiing that motivates children to return. This approach ensures that while technical skills are introduced, the primary goal is for each child to find joy in the snow and build confidence on their skis. Rest stops are frequent, allowing children to recharge and maintain high energy and enthusiasm throughout the lesson.
The lessons start and finish at the same time as our standard children’s and adults’ group lessons, at the same meeting point. The goal is to offer parents a convenient and stress-free option for young skiers, while enjoying the slopes themselves.
We meet in front of the ZigZag meeting point signs in Samoëns 1600, 10 minutes before the start of the lesson.
