We meet opposite the Bellevarde Express chairlift, next to the restaurant “Les fils à maman” (CXXG+4RH Val-d'Isère)
Introduce your little ones to skiing in Val d’Isère with our Petit Ours groups, designed especially for children aged 3 to 4 years old. These gentle introductory lessons take place in a quiet beginner zone where toddlers can explore the snow at their own rhythm. With groups limited to just 3 children, the instructor has plenty of time to guide and reassure each skier individually.
Sessions focus on simple games and playful movements that help children slide, find their balance, and gradually feel more confident on their skis. Through these fun activities, they begin to learn essential basics such as gliding independently, stopping gently, and managing their speed. Our patient instructors adapt their teaching to each child's personality and pace to keep the atmosphere relaxed and encouraging.
At the end of the week, every child is awarded the Petit Ours medal to celebrate their first progress on the snow. This small and supportive group format offers a comforting environment, giving young skiers the perfect start for their first skiing experience in Val d’Isère.
We meet in front of the Bellevarde Express chairlift, 10 minutes before the start of the lesson.
