Advice for parents
Questions? Check out our FAQ
What is the average lesson at the Snow Garden like?
Lessons run at your child's pace. At Val d'Isère we believe that learning should always be fun! We also make time to take a snack break, make sure your child has one. Races take place on Friday
Does my child need a ski pass?
No, there is no need to purchase a pass for access to the Snow Garden. In addition, for children under the age of 5, passes are free.
What type of lesson should I choose?
For 3-year-olds, opt for half-day lessons. If you have an early-riser, morning lessons are perfect! Wanna sleep in? Afternoon lessons exist too! For 4 and 5-year-olds, morning / afternoon lessons are best with a snack break in between.
Can parents attend lessons?
Wanting to watch your child is totally normal. However, this can hinder their ability to pay attention and learn because they will most likely spend their time watching you. Rather than watch, ask their instructor for an update at the end of the lesson.
What should I do if my child cries the first day?
Our instructors have enough experience to tell the difference between a child who's crying because they miss their parents versus one who is afraid of trying something new. They will do their best to ensure your child feels reassured and keep them entertained. Open conversation between instructors and parents is essential!
