Advice

Advice and information

To ensure everything runs smoothly, please:
  • Arrive 10 minutes early: It’s essential to be at the meeting point. Classes cannot wait for latecomers.
  • Bring the necessary items: Don’t forget your lesson card (which instructors will check), a valid ski pass (for children aged 5 and over), and your ski equipment (helmet and skis).
  • Please note that our prices do not include the ski passinsurance or equipment hire.
  • Wearing a helmet is strongly recommended.

For your child's well-being:
  • Equipment: Children should come equipped with skis, boots, and a helmet.
  • Dress warmly: Make sure they wear an anorak, gloves, goggles, a neck warmer, and sunscreen. We strongly recommend that they wear a helmet from the start to help them develop good habits.
  • Stay out of sight: To facilitate teaching, please avoid lingering at the edge of the kindergarten area or following your child on the slopes, as their behaviour may change when they see you.
  • Respect their pace: Allow your child to progress at their own rate and avoid taking them on steep slopes, especially if they are still snowploughing, as this can hinder their progress and create difficulties.

Additional Information:
  • Group lessons: These require a minimum of 4 participants. If this number isn’t met, the esf reserves the right to adjust lesson duration or cancel.
  • Age requirements: Students can start skiing at age 3 and snowboarding at age 8.
  • Class placement: Only instructors have the authority to move children to different classes.
  • End-of-week tests: These correspond to technical levels rather than awards.
  • Programme changes: The esf management reserves the right to adjust programs and schedules throughout the season.
  • Liability: Weather conditions and ski lift breakdowns are not the responsibility of the instructors.
