FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you have any questions in mind?

What is the advantage of the Top 8 Lessons?
The "TOP 8" lessons are limited to 8 students per group, providing better teaching comfort and greater availability of the instructor for their students, who will progress in optimal learning conditions.
DOES MY CHILD NEED A SKI PASS?
  • 1ère étoile: A ski pass is not required on Sundays or Mondays. Starting from Tuesday, a pass covering Val d'Isère only will suffice.
  • From 2ème étoile onward: a Val d'Isère/Tignes ski pass is required from the first day of lessons.
  • Children under 8 years old have access to a free ski pass, which is mandatory for attending ski lessons.
Does the esf provide lunch for children?
No, meals are not provided as part of our group lessons as we do not have suitable facilities. You will need to pick up your child at the end of the morning session (12:30pm) and bring them back to us for the afternoon session (2:00pm or 2:30pm) if enrolled in a full-day program. The lunch option is only available for the full-day program starting from the 'preparation for 2ème étoile' level.
WHAT LANGUAGES DO THE INSTRUCTORS SPEAK?
Our instructors speak English and French.
