FAQ

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"
Does my child need a ski pass?
  • Ski passes are not required for lessons at Club Piou Piou.
  • If your little one goes on the slopes, the ski pass is free for children under 5 (on presentation of proof of age).
How should I dress my child?
  • Warm, comfortable, and waterproof jacket, trousers, or ski suit.
  • Mittens rather than fingered gloves.
  • Sunglasses or ski goggles (secured with a strap) with a minimum UV protection of 3.
How should I equip my child?
  • Boots should fit properly, worn with a single pair of socks.
  • Skis: tips should reach chin height. Trust the professionals for adjustments.
  • No ski poles for the Club Piou Piou, nor for Ourson and Flocon lessons.
  • Wearing a helmet is essential.
Can we attend the Club Piou Piou sessions?
It’s natural to want to watch your child, but they’ll spot you quickly! This can lead to tears or reduce their motivation to ski.

It’s better to request a feedback session at the end of the lesson. If there’s any issue, we already have your contact number and will get in touch immediately
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!
