The best children's ski school My 2 children (3.5 years old and 6.5 years old) made dazzling progress in one week in dream conditions: caring, ultra professional monitors, small groups of 6 children. The whole team was very attentive to the level and the evolution of our children during these 6 half days. Our beginner children went every morning with envy and joy, which was not the case in previous years in other resorts and ski schools. Special thanks to Sylvain and Colin. - 📍Evolution 2 Sainte-Foy

Evolution 2 Ski Guide Colin guided us for two half days this week and was great for skiing, lots of useful observations and tips on skiing. He also took us safely off-piste to the higher slopes where we wouldn't have gone without him. Very nice and fun to ski, but you have to book in advance as he was busy the other days and we lost! Evolution 2 is also suitable for children. But they were full when we arrived. - 📍Evolution 2 Sainte-Foy
