Main information
What to expect
Whether your kids are into sports or need a little push, our instructors will always know how to get them to have a good time on the slopes.
These kids ski lessons in Villars are aimed at kids aged 3 to 16 years. For starters, the skiers will be assessed and put into groups matching their age and level. Improving the kids' overall skills on skis will then be at the centre of the course. For beginners, the focus lies on learning the snowplough, spending time on slopes that suit their level, and gaining confidence on skis. For the mid-level skiers, parallel skiing will be taught on real green and blue level slopes, and for the more experienced, anything is possible if the level of the group allows it, like learning how to carve.
If your child is over 16 years, they will be able to ski in the adult group.
