What level is my child?
The quickest way to find out is our Level test : a few yes/no questions and you'll see the right group. You choose the level when booking, and our instructors fine-tune on the slope. So picking the wrong level is no problem.
- Never ridden a chairlift? Then your child starts in Green.
- Under 6? Then children start in Light Blue at most. If your child already skis better, they gain a day of confidence and then move up.
- Fun park? Jumps and boxes start from level Red.
Why does my child start in Green when they can already turn?
Light Blue groups no longer ski in the Kids' Land but on easy blue slopes served by the chairlift. Children who've never ridden a chairlift or have only just learned to turn consolidate this in Green. That way no child has to go back from the slope to the Kids' Land.
And before and after?
- 2 to 3 years: the Rising Stars with only 4 children per instructor.
- 14 and over: the Teen Stars at levels Red and Black.
- 8 to 13 years, level Red or Black: our Kids' Technique Camp on two weekends in winter.
The final day
Every Thursday on the final day there's a ski race with prize-giving and a medal for every child. Bring the Skills Pass with you to your next ski course and we'll know straight away where to pick up.
FAQ
How big are the groups?
Max. 8 children per group, grouped by ability.
Can siblings be in the same group?
Yes, if they ski at roughly the same level. If there's a big difference, the faster child has to adapt – and often gets bored quickly.
Can my child change level during the week?
Yes. Our instructors move children up whenever they're ready.
