About the Activity
What to Expect
Offer your kids aged 6 to 12 a week of fun thanks to our kids ski lessons in Samoëns 1600. Our group lessons are designed to bring kids together with others of the same level, fostering an environment of camaraderie and encouragement. Led by excellent English speaking instructors, the lessons maintain a focus on individual attention with groups of just 4 to 8 students. This allows for genuine technical correction and personalized feedback.
Beginners will learn the basics of skiing, such as how to navigate gentle slopes and understand their equipment, which is essential for building confidence on the snow. As the lessons progress, kids will move on to mastering parallel skiing and tackling slightly steeper slopes. These skills are crucial for improving balance and control, enabling young skiers to gain confidence and refine their technique.
Advanced learners, meanwhile, will focus on perfecting their skills. Throughout the lessons, our instructors ensure that each child is challenged at their own pace, making skiing a fun and rewarding experience. Forget about long lines of skiers trailing behind; our approach emphasizes quality over quantity, ensuring your child receives the best possible instruction in a supportive environment.

What should I wear for my lessons?
You should wear warm clothing suitable for winter sports. Other accessories such as gloves, a ski mask and sunglasses are strongly recommended.
When should I collect my equipment?
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.
Where can I buy a ski pass?
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.
Do I need to book my lessons in advance?
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.
