Kids/Teens Group lesson

Ski Lessons for Every Age and Ability

At Sainte-Foy Tarentaise, Evolution 2 supports children and teenagers throughout their skiing journey, from their very first turns to advanced skiing on red and black runs and discovering off-piste terrain.

Our priority: learning while having fun, progressing at your own pace and building confidence on skis. With small groups, our instructors can give individual attention and adapt their teaching to the needs of the group.

PANDA CLUB

First turns | Ages 3 to 5

The Panda Club is specially designed for young children discovering skiing for the first time.

With a maximum of 4 children per group, sessions are designed to introduce the basics of skiing while making sure children enjoy their time on the snow. Through games, exercises and their first gliding experiences, children gradually become familiar with their equipment and surroundings.

The goal: build confidence, discover the sensation of gliding and develop the first technical skills in a fun and reassuring environment.

YETI ACADEMY

Progress and become more independent | From age 5

Petit Yéti · Yéti 1 · Yéti 2 · Yéti 3 · Super Yéti · Yéti Rider

The Yeti Academy supports children throughout their progression, from their first runs to more technical and independent skiing.

Groups are limited to 6 children maximum. Levels are based on each child’s skills and can be reassessed at the beginning of the week to create balanced and consistent groups.

Depending on their level, children work on balance, turning, braking, speed control and skiing technique across different types of slopes and terrain.

Every child progresses at their own pace, with goals adapted to their ability.

JUNIOR ACADEMY

For teenagers who want to take their skiing further | From age 10

Junior Academy 1 · Junior Academy 2 · Junior Academy 3

The Junior Academy is designed for teenagers who want to refine their technique and become more confident across the ski area.

In small groups of no more than 6, young skiers experience a variety of terrain, including red and black runs, while discovering different aspects of skiing: technical skills, adapting to changing snow conditions, off-piste discovery and mountain safety awareness.

The goal: become more independent, more confident and able to adapt to different situations in the mountains.

FREERIDE ACADEMY

For teenagers passionate about off-piste skiing | From age 13

The Freeride Academy is designed for confident young skiers who want to discover or develop their off-piste skiing skills.

The programme includes exploring varied terrain, adapting to different snow conditions, choosing suitable lines and learning the essential safety principles for off-piste skiing.

The focus is on independence, discovery and the enjoyment of skiing differently, always under the supervision of an instructor.

*At Sainte-Foy, we work with a close-knit team of instructors, which means that some levels may occasionally be grouped together depending on the number of participants during the week. There is no need to worry: the instructor adapts the exercises and objectives so that everyone can continue to progress. Groups may also be adjusted during the week according to the children’s progress.
