What we offer

• Includes 6 mornings of ski school with the ESF and is inclusive of all ski abilities from beginners to gold level.
• Hot, simple lunches on 6 days designed to be child-friendly and balanced. Ranging from; pasta and pizza to fish and chips or warming soup and sandwiches, always accompanied with fresh fruit/veggies.
• Three afternoons of fun skiing with a fully trained instructor. This is a great way for the children to put into practice the skills they have learnt in the mornings out on the slopes and learn some fun new tips and tricks outside of their more formal morning lessons.
• Three afternoons of fun filled activities
• Activities until 4.30pm, 6 days a week

How does my child get to their morning lessons?

It is the parents responsibility to get their children to the Ski School for 9/9.15am each morning. (Timings may vary in resort, but our team will inform you of this on your first night).  Childcare finishes at 4.30pm.

What if I want to ski with my children on some days?

If you wish to ski with your children on just a couple of afternoons, and not the full week, then you must book them into Full Childcare.
You are then more than welcome to come and collect them from their lunch and take them out for the rest of the afternoon, either skiing or to one of the non ski related activities in the surrounding area –Ardent Reberty  (Providing that you have prearranged this with the childcare team for your resort)
We have to have the children booked into full childcare to be able to do this as we cannot guarantee that we will have space in our childcare should you wish to upgrade during the week to include afternoon care.

What are my children doing in their afternoon activities?

On 3 days your children will be honing their skills on the slopes with an ESF ski instructor. This is not a formal lesson, but allows your children to practice what they have learnt in the mornings in a more relaxed environment. Dependent on ski ability, children will either practice on some of the smaller slopes, or try some more skilled skiing like bunny hops and skiing through the powdery snow. This is your child’s time to do more fun skiing – exploring the area and improving their skiing through doing, rather than running drills.

On the 3 afternoons when they’re not skiing, the focus is on some great fun-filled activities (weather and resort dependent).

How will I know if my child’s ski ability is progressing?

On 3 evenings before their ski test on the Friday, a member of our team will give feedback to the individual family on how your children are progressing in ski school, and about any issues that might have been encountered during the day. Our Ski School Helpers will also hand out badges and certificates on the Saturday after they have taken their ski school test, and this is great fun for all the family.

My children are all different ages, will they see each other during the day ?

Morning ski lessons with ESF are grouped by ski ability so if your children are the same ski level, they may be in the same group lesson. However, this isn’t guaranteed as in popular weeks ESF may also group the same level children based on age/strength and one child may progress at a different speed to another.
