CHILDREN AND SKIING
Children over the age of 4 will be able to ski. Parents may wish to try getting younger children to ski but in our experience children too young lack the concentration and physical strength to benefit from learning to ski. It may also do their progress more harm than good. We offer morning lessons with our Kids Club programme.
TESTIMONIALS
An attentive nanny and a sociable kids club will allow children an easy introduction to skiing and to meet others of a similar age. See what our guests so far, have to say:
