FAQ

Is the ski pass included in the lesson price?
No, the ski pass is not included in the cost of the lessons. However, it can be offered as an optional add-on when booking online.

Tip: A discounted lift pass is available for students enrolled in 6-day group lessons at the Grands Débutants, Flocon, and 1ʳᵉ Étoile levels, as well as for beginner teens and adults.

For more information about lift passes, visit our dedicated page: "How to choose a ski pass".
Is the insurance included in the lesson price?
Students are not covered by the school’s insurance. We recommend Carré Neige insurance, which can be added as an optional extra when booking your lesson.
For more information, please visit our dedicated page: "Take out insurance"
What if my child is tired or feeling cold?
It’s snack time! This is when young children can rest and regain their energy, ensuring that skiing remains a fun experience!
What if my child has never skied before?
Children aged 6 who have never skied should be enrolled in the Grand Débutant (Beginner) lessons. By the end of the week, they will be assessed for the Ourson or Flocon level, depending on their progress.
