Is your child 3 or 4 years old? Do they aspire to ski but haven't yet had the chance to? Well, if that's the case... you are in the right place! Your child will be welcomed and looked after at Club Piou-Piou by our certified ESF instructors. Here they will learn how to ski with the help of instructors all while having fun!

Scheduled activities: discovering the world of skiing - how to kick off, smoothly increase speed, make turns and go down small pistes. No need to worry, the kindergarten "Club Piou-Piou" is a safe and secure kindergarten. 

On Friday, your child will be rewarded a medal validating their level after an evaluation by their instructor.

How do lessons work?

  • You drop off your child at the Kindergarten (Club Piou-Piou),
  • Skiing is split into two main activities, technique practise and games. On Fridays, instructors distribute medals.
  • You pick up your child at Club Piou-Piou.


Where is Club Piou-Piou ? 

  • The meeting point is at the Kindergarten on Arrondaz Plateau 2200 meters above sea level (behind the restaurant "La Bergerie").

In order to get to Arrondaz Plateau: you must first buy a ski or pedestrian pass to take the lift that goes up to the ESF office.

For every lesson purchased, you gain access to a PEDESTRIAN PASS AT A REDUCED PRICE
Price : 42 € for the week (instead of 52 €). 

To ensure you are on time, allow yourself at least 6 minutes to get to the meeting point (depending on the time of year the line for the lift can be long).         Mornings during the February vacations can take up to 40 minutes.
