Parent's tips

Parents… A few tips

3 years… Minimum 

We welcome children with a minimum age of 3 years in private lessons and 4 years for Kindergarten class. Any younger and your child has not gained sufficient gross motor skills (control of their body) to really learn how to ski. We would ask you to tell us your child’s age when reserving lessons.

Thank you for your understanding.
 

Well equipped… Well protected !

• Every child must have a helmet and a valid skipass (it’s free less than 5 years).
• Dress your child warmly.
• Sunglasses or ski goggles are essential. 
• Don’t forget sun cream : in the mountain, the sun is very powerful and the reflexion from the snow strong as well. 
• A packet of tissues is useful…  

Before they start their lessons… Don’t forget ! 
 

• Make sure you put your telephone number in the same pocket as their skipass or ESF card so it can be easily found. 
• Make sure you know the time and place for the start and end of their lessons. 
• Make sure you are at the meeting point of their lesson 5 mn before the start and at least 5 mn before the end to collect them. 

• Make sure they have been to the TOILET ! 

Teaching methods...Independence.

To develop the independence of your child : 

• Encourage them to carry their own skis and allow them try to get up by them selves after a fall.
• Do not follow them or call out to them during the session, this may distract their attention from the lesson.
• It may necessary for your child to change groups, please respect the decision of the instructor.
