Can children and adults share private lessons?

It’s not recommended as children respond better to different teaching methods and progress at different speeds to adults.

My sister is a better skier than me. Can we share a private lesson?

No, it’s recommended to have almost the same level to get the most out of the lesson. Also, if 2 people are both beginners but with a big age gap (eg child and adult or young child and older child), it is best to have separate lessons as they will progress at different speeds and respond better to different teaching methods.

My child is a beginner. Do they need a ski pass from the 1st day of lessons?

No, the instructor will tell you when it is time to get them a ski pass.

Is it possible to pass the 3rd Star in private lessons or does my child need to do group lessons to pass this level?

It is possible to take the test during private lessons. However, the medal is not included in the cost for private lessons. Once a level has been confirmed by the instructor, you will be able to buy the medal at the ESF office.

What equipment is compulsory for off piste outings?

A transceiver, shovel and probe are compulsory. A helmet is highly recommended.

Is off piste safety equipment provided?

A transceiver, shovel and probe can be provided for our group lesson off piste outings. Depending on availability, they may also be provided for private lessons. If you would like an ABS bag, you can rent one from one of the Skiset shops in resort https://www.skiset.com/station-ski/sainte-foy-en-tarentaise

If the avalanche risk is high, will the off piste outing go ahead?

Off piste outings can be cancelled due to weather conditions and/or avalanche risk. The instructor will decide, at the latest the morning of the outing.
If the instructor decides to cancel the outing, we will give you the choice of rescheduling the outing or a refund.
