What age do you run groups for?
Our Kids’ Club groups are for children aged 6-12 years. Our Slopestyle groups are for 12-17 year olds. 12 year old kids can choose either group depending on which dynamic (older or younger group members) you think will work best for them.Few readersWhy is the minimum age for kids groups 6 years?
We do not have crèche facilities and so have 6 years as the minimum age. We feel they are then old enough to be out on the mountain for the duration of the lesson. Also at this age they are strong enough to stand up on their own, ski for the whole lesson and get the most out of it. We recommend private lessons for any kids under the age of 6.Few readersDo children get an award at the end of the week?
All kids will get a medal at the end of the week too. We also have our own certificate of achievement that the instructor will fill out and give to each child. This gives everyone a few goals and tasks through the week, details what they have done and the skills they’ve learned. It also suggests the group the instructor thinks would be the best fit the following season.Few readersDo I need to book kids groups in advance?
We would recommend you book kids groups as early as you can. We have a maximum of 6 in a group and only a few kids groups running.Few readersDo you offer full day kids’ groups?
Sorry, no. We offer morning lessons as we find many children either get tired in the afternoons or want to ski with their parents!Few readersWhat will my child learn?
Kids’ Club groups will improve their ski technique (although they might think they’re just playing games, we’ll surrepticiously be introducing new skills and tactics to their skiing) and also learn about the mountains and how to stay safe on the slopes. Slopestyle groups have a focus on improving technique and making the mountain your playground. Instructors will also work on taking these skills into the terrain park. At all times the instructors will make sure progress is made safely and wilFew readersShould my child wear a helmet?
We would strongly recommend that all children wear a helmet. In Italy it is a legal requirement that children under 16 wear helmetsFew readers
