All technical equipment is provided (skis or snowboards, bindings, snow boots or boots, poles, helmets,)
The partnership with the Rossignol brand for more than 20 years allows us to offer comfortable, high-performance equipment adapted to the specificities of each age.
It is new and is maintained every week by the instructors in our own stores.
All sizes of skis or snowboards are available and several models are available depending on the level of practice and expectations (track, freestyle, freeride). We take great care of ski boots and snow boots, an essential element of comfort but also of performance. We reference several brands to offer different footwear that adapt to all types of feet.
Equipping yourself is no longer a chore.
For the little ones, specific markings and storage spaces per room make it easy to find your equipment.
All the centers are equipped with boot dryers for all children (warmth and hygiene guaranteed): dry and hot shoes guaranteed at each ski departure!

Our ambition is to offer ski or snowboard sessions at the best time so that the stay is the most profitable. The organization of the activity is adapted to the age of the children and adolescents, to their fitness, and also takes into account the weather conditions, the condition of the snow, and the number of visitors to the resort.
Overall, a session of around 2.5 hours is planned every half day.
While teaching is collective to promote group dynamics and emulation, several ways of evolving with the group allow for significant individualization time. Each child is recognized according to their experiences, expectations and abilities. A pedagogy of success is preferred: choice of suitable fields, progressiveness, achievable goals, positive reinforcements, results of the sessions, feedback on everyone's sensations. We attach great importance to moments of recovery, to meal time.
Continuous days can be offered to visit a large estate or simply for the pleasure of sharing a picnic in the sun with the instructor.
Team rallies are planned to encourage meetings and to develop the autonomy and knowledge of children and adolescents in a fun way.
Small competitions, individual or team (slaloms, demonstration competitions, etc.) are organized to promote emulation and conviviality.

Our instructors adapt the pace of the sessions according to the ages, levels and abilities of each person. Perfectly aware of the field, they know how it evolves, which allows them to evolve in the best places.
But riding safely means above all understanding the environment, knowing yourself and taking others into account. At the heart of our educational approach, teaching content (adapted to the age and experiences of young people) aims to develop autonomy and responsibility. The objective is for each child or teenager to progress to better manage their skiing and anticipate risks. From the first session, our instructors give advice on how to respect the signs, warm up, read and choose the terrain, be progressive, master your trajectories, adapt your speed to your technique.
Finally, safe riding also means having quality equipment, adapted to your level, checked, maintained and adjusted according to current standards (level, style of practice, experience, weight, age) Skimen and instructors pay particular attention to the distribution of equipment, which can be changed if necessary during your stay.
