Advice for parents

To ensure a smooth course:

Arrive early at the meeting points indicated on your course card.
Students must present their ticket or lesson card at the lesson.
Lift passes are not included in the lesson price and are required for both group and private lessons.
Students are not insured by ESF.
Equipment is not provided with our services.
Helmets are strongly recommended.

For Your Child’s Well-being:

Ensure your child arrives at lessons with skis, boots, and a helmet.
Dress them warmly: anorak, gloves, goggles, handkerchief, and sun cream. We strongly recommend wearing a helmet from the start to establish good habits.
Pack a snack for your child’s pocket for Piou Piou and Ourson levels.
To aid our teaching, avoid lingering on the edges of the kindergarten area, as children behave differently when they see their parents.
Leave your contact details in your child’s pocket, especially for Club Piou Piou and Ourson lessons.
Respect your child’s pace of progress. Avoid taking them on overly steep slopes, especially if they are still learning to snowplough, as this can hinder their progress and cause difficulties.
Always be positive and encourage your child’s progress.

Additional Information:

Group lessons require a minimum of 3 participants. If fewer than 3 students register, the lesson may be cancelled at short notice.
For private lessons, instructors will wait 20 minutes for late arrivals. After this time, the lesson will be considered to have been given.
ESF reserves the right to modify lesson times and duration.
NO BOOKINGS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PAYMENT.
Lessons covered by insurance will not be reimbursed or rescheduled due to bad weather.
ESF cannot be held responsible for weather conditions, lift breakdowns, or other incidents occurring during the lesson.
Lessons are available for children aged 3 and up for skiing, and 9 and up for snowboarding.
Only instructors are authorised to decide if a child should change classes.
On Fridays, instructors will assess children from Piou Piou to Étoile d'Or during morning and afternoon classes. These end-of-week assessments correspond to technical levels, not awards.
