Winter
Little ones
What snow activities do you offer for children aged 3 and 4?
At the children's village, it's not just about learning to ski – it's a whole world of mountain discovery and snow-filled adventures:

Snowshoe outings
Treasure hunts
Giant group games: giant bowling, beret game, curling and more
Yooner rides
Snow sculpture and snowman building
Sledging and snow skating

Mini Olympics
Ice rink outing*
Visit to the Seraussaix farm*
Music quizzes and more...
* Subject to programme and weather conditions.
Can my 3- and 4-year-old children be placed in the same group?
In that case, the older child would need to join the 3-year-old group, but they may find the activities insufficiently challenging.
Children aged 3 and 4 are not placed together, as their pace of learning and skill progression differ significantly.
We therefore recommend keeping them in separate groups. They will ski in nearby areas during their lessons and can still spend time together during lunch and activity sessions.
What happens if my child is too tired or doesn't want to ski?
A member of our childcare team is always available indoors in case a child becomes upset, feels cold or simply gets too tired. They will take care of your child, comfort them and, if needed, arrange a short nap or some quiet time to rest. As soon as your child feels better, they will be rejoined with their group so they can continue enjoying the day's activities.
How are meals organised?
Children have lunch inside the Children's Village chalet.
At the end of the morning lesson, the ski instructors hand the children over to the activity leaders who supervise lunchtime.
A hot meal, cheese and dessert are served at the table by the activity leaders.
At 1:30 PM, the activity leaders accompany the children back to their ski instructor for the afternoon lesson.
Does my child need a lift pass?
If a child progresses well, their instructor may decide that they are ready to use a ski lift. In this case, a lift pass will be required.
For children under the age of 5, the lift pass is free of charge. It can be collected from the lift pass office upon presentation of the child's ID or proof of age. The lift pass is free of charge.
Who will be supervising my child?
To help your child take their first steps on the snow, a qualified activity leader will be there to guide them and look after their well-being throughout the day.
Children
Is the lift pass included in the lesson price?
No, the lift pass is not included in the lesson fee. A valid lift pass is required to access the ski lifts and must be purchased before the start of the lessons.
My child requires special educational support – what should I do?
If your child has a medical condition, disability, physical impairment, learning difficulty or any other specific need, please make sure to inform us through the contact form before the start of the lessons. This will allow us to put the most appropriate support and teaching arrangements in place to ensure your child has the best possible experience.
