From what age can my child take ski lessons in La Rosière?
Evolution 2 group ski lessons in La Rosière are available from 3 years old, with groups and teaching methods adapted to each child’s age and ability. It is possible to start younger with private ski lessons.
What levels are available for children?
Children are divided into different groups: Panda, Yétison, Petit Yéti, Yéti 1, Yéti 2, Yéti 3, Super Yéti, Yéti Rider, Junior Academy 1, 2 and 3, and Freeride Academy.
If you are unsure of your child’s level, check our ski level guide before booking.
What should I do if I am not sure about my child’s ski level?
If you are hesitating between two levels, choose the lower one when booking. Groups are reassessed and reorganised at the beginning of the week according to each child’s actual ability.
If necessary, we can then move your child up to a higher-level group. It is generally easier and more positive for a child to move up a level than to have to move down.
How many children are there in each group?
We aim to create groups of no more than 8 children to ensure good supervision and appropriate progression.
However, after assessing and balancing the groups at the beginning of the week, it may occasionally be necessary to exceed this number. We prioritise creating a group with a consistent level, rather than strictly limiting the group to 8 children and having significant differences in ability.
Can my child join the lessons from Les Eucherts?
This depends on your child’s level and the meeting point indicated when booking.
Panda, Yétison and Petit Yéti
Lessons take place exclusively at the Yéti Village, in the centre of La Rosière, where our dedicated beginner area is located.
If you are staying in Les Eucherts, your child can use our Evolution 2 shuttle service:
- Morning lessons: our Evolution 2 shuttle will pick your child up from Les Eucherts before the lesson. At the end of the lesson, you will need to collect them at Yéti Village in La Rosière.
- Afternoon lessons: you will need to bring your child to La Rosière. At the end of the lesson, our shuttle can take them back to Les Eucherts.
From Yéti 1 onwards
Lessons can generally start directly from Les Eucherts. Depending on the number of bookings and group organisation, the meeting point may exceptionally be moved to La Rosière. We will let you know in advance.
In this case, our Evolution 2 shuttle can pick up your child, depending on the lesson time and under the same conditions as for the beginner levels.
If you need to travel from Les Eucherts to La Rosière:
- Evolution 2 shuttle: according to the arrangements described above.
- Free public shuttle: runs approximately every 15 minutes between Les Eucherts and La Rosière.
- By ski: possible when the ski lifts are open, generally from 9am to 5pm. This option is therefore not suitable for a lesson starting at 9am or ending at 5pm. If you need to travel outside the ski lift operating hours, we recommend using the free public shuttle.
Is a ski pass required for the lessons?
For Panda to Petit Yéti levels, children do not initially need a ski pass. Your instructor will let you know if a lift pass becomes necessary during the week.
What equipment does my child need for ski lessons?
Your child should bring skis, ski boots, gloves, a helmet, goggles or sunglasses, a neck warmer and sunscreen. We also recommend bringing a small snack.
A helmet is compulsory.
Does my child receive a medal at the end of the week?
Yes. The medal is included in the course price.
During school holidays, the medal ceremony takes place on Friday at 6pm in front of the Tourist Office. Outside school holidays, medals are given out at the end of Friday’s lesson.
What happens if there are not enough children to form a group?
A minimum of 4 children is required to form a group. If this number is not reached, we will inform you 48 hours in advance.
