In Les Marécottes, group lessons are above all a wonderful adventure on the snow, filled with laughter and progress. Our instructors welcome children from the age of 4, whether they are putting on skis for the first time or want to improve their technique.

Groups of 4 to 8 children are formed according to each child's level so that everyone can progress at their own pace in a motivating and supportive environment.

A minimum of 4 participants of the same level is required to open a group lesson. If this number is not reached, we offer an alternative in the form of semi-group or private lessons.

Beginners must be present from the first lesson on Monday in order to keep up with the group's progress throughout the week. Each child follows the Swiss Snow League programme, which allows them to validate their skills and obtain their medal at the end of the season.

Lessons take place from Monday to Friday, and for organisational purposes, registrations must be made at least three days in advance. These lessons are for skiers only.

Off-season group lessons

  • Gliss' du samedi : Saturday group skiing lessons (from 10 January 2026 to 7 February 2026)

This season, Saturday Skiing allows children from Blue League level upwards to progress throughout the winter in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. Five Saturday mornings of skiing are planned, accompanied by our enthusiastic instructors. Classes start with a minimum of four participants.

Younger children, aged 2 to 5, can discover snow and skiing with the Les P’tits Glisseurs course. Accompanied by mum or dad, they take their first steps on skis in a safe and fun environment, guided by our instructors trained in teaching young children.

And for those who want to enjoy regular lessons, the school also offers group lessons on Wednesdays:

  • In the morning and afternoon for 3 to 5-year-olds, to gently discover the basics of skiing.
  • On Wednesday afternoons for 5 to 8-year-olds, to improve their skills and gain confidence on the slopes.

These lessons are for skiers only.
