MINIKIDS
Children ski lessons for beginners aged 3 to 5.
Starting Level: Your child needs no previous experience, but please chat to our staff so we can advise how to help with your little one’s first day on snow.
The goals for “MINI KIDS” are for your child to like skiing and enjoy ski school. The first few days can be a bit challenging but before long your child won’t look back. At the end of the week we will aim to ski down an 8km green run to the bottom of the mountain.
BEGINNER KIDS
Children ski lessons for beginners aged 6 to 11.
Starting Level: This level is for children who have never skied, or just had a few hours on a dry slope or in a snow dome.
The goals for “BEGINNER KIDS” are to get your child to turn, control their speed and get them to love skiing. During the week they will move out of the beginner areas onto longer runs. The ski groups are not set in stone, so if your child progresses more quickly we will move them up.
KIDS
Children ski lessons – Kids level group lessons for children aged 4 to 11.
Starting Level: Snowplough on a very easy slope, change direction and stop.
The goal for “KIDS” is to get your child to make good snow plough turns. We want to get them better on the “grown up” slopes – greens and blues. We teach them how to control their speed and start exploring the mountain safely. Through the week we will use fun skill builders to improve their confidence.
KIDS 1
Children ski lessons – Kids 1 level group lesson for children aged 5 to 11
Starting Level: Your child should be happy doing snow plough turns on a green and easy blue.
The goals for “KIDS 1” are to get your child to ski a little faster and get their feet a little closer together, losing that snow plough. We teach them to skid the skis parallel at the end of the turn. Through the week we will use fun skill builders to improve their confidence and learn how to spray snow in the air.
KIDS 2
Children ski lessons – Kids 2 level group lesson for children aged 6 to 11.
Starting Level: Plough parallels on greens and blues. You should see their skis slide parallel at the end of the turn. They need to be able to side slip a little and look and feel confident on blue runs.
The goals for “KIDS 2” are to get your child to start and finish their turns keeping their skis parallel. To do this they need a little speed and to be well balanced on their skis. We teach them to start turning using both feet at the same time. Through the week we will use fun skill builders to improve their confidence and they will definitely be able to spray snow in the air!
KIDS 3
Children ski lessons – Kids 3 level group lesson for children aged 7 to 11.
Starting Level: Control their speed on a blue run keeping their skis parallel all the time.
The goals for “KIDS 3” are to get your child to ski a little faster, start making smaller more rhythmic turns and to ski slightly steeper runs whilst keeping style and agility. We teach your child to use their skis more efficiently and get them to have a more dynamic stance. They will spend time in the snow park and learn some freestyle tricks to show off to you after the lesson.
KIDS 4
Children ski lessons – Kids 4 level group lesson for children aged 8 to 12.
Starting Level: Ski with a dynamic stance on red runs keeping skis parallel.
The goals for “KIDS 4” are to be comfortable and proficient on black runs. We teach them to ski better on steeper slopes and introduce them to carving. We will definitely jump in the snow park and learn a few flash tricks. At the end of the week your child will receive either the KIDS 4 Silver or KIDS 4 Gold depending on their technical strengths. KIDS 4 Gold is not always easy to get first go, as the level is high.

Off piste is normally on the agenda and at the same time we show you how to use all the security equipment. There will also be sessions in the park and general development of your skills in more varied terrain.
