Frequently Asked Questions

Is insurance included with the lessons?
No, the esf does not provide insurance for students. For more information, please visit our dedicated page: "Take out insurance".
Does my child need a ski pass?
  • Ourson level: No ski pass is needed for the first day. Please plan a budget in case a pass purchase becomes necessary after the first session.
  • For Flocon to Compétition levels: Your child will ski directly on the resort slopes and will need a La Toussuire ski pass from day one. 
  • For the Team Rider course: A Sybelles ski pass is required.
Will my child earn a medal?
Of course! At the end of each week, your child will receive a medal representing their level.
How should I dress my child?
Choose a jacket with bib pants or a warm one-piece suit to ensure comfort and protection. Add mittens to keep hands warm, sunglasses to protect the eyes, and don’t forget sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Also, tuck some tissues into their pocket to handle any minor cold-related discomforts!
How should I equip my child for the Club Piou Piou ?
Properly fitting boots, skis, and a helmet! (No need for ski poles at Club Piou-Piou.)
