With our kids ski lessons in Saint-Gervais, little ones aged 3 to 5 can also discover skiing in complete safety!
The Club Piou-Piou is the ideal place to learn to ski. With its fun-filled activities and equipment designed for the youngest children, this area supports your children as they take their first steps on the snow. Balance, sliding and braking: our experienced instructors are on hand to guide the children at their own pace as they discover the joys of skiing through a range of games. The Piou-Piou mascot and its friends make the experience even more fun.
Little by little, the children gain independence and confidence and, once they’ve reached the ‘Sifflote’ level, they will be able to join the easiest slopes in the ski area, just like the older children. If you enrol your child directly at the ‘Ourson’ level, the first few days will be spent at Club Piou-Piou so they can regain their footing on skis, before heading out onto the green runs!
We meet in front of the ESF chalet at Le Bettex, 10 minutes before the start of the lesson.

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.
