Questions?

What equipment is needed ?

It is advisable to provide your children with equipment adapted to the weather conditions.
Ski goggles, gloves and sun cream will protect them from the cold and the sun. Wearing a helmet is highly recommended.
It is imperative to have a pair of adjusted skis, ski boots and poles.

Where is the meeting point ?

The meeting place for groups of 6 to 16 year olds is in Thyon 2000, on the place in front of the building complex, at the bottom of the slopes.

You will find the exact location in the info - meeting points section of our website, here.

Can my children be in the same class ?

Yes, but it will depend on their level. If your children are registered in the same level, they can be in the same group. To be sure, you can write this down in the remarks section when you make your reservation, but above all you can remind the teachers of that level on the first day of the lesson.

In which level should we register our child ?

Group lessons from 6 to 16 years old are divided into 3 Leagues: Blue League (Beginner), Red League (Advanced), Black League (Expert). The latter are divided into 3 levels: Prince/Princess, King/Queen, Star. The Black League has one level: Black Prince. After this level, your children can register in the Swiss Snow Academy.

You will find all the details about these levels on the page "My Level", here.
