Our ski lessons for 7-11 year olds are developed specifically by a team of instructors, highly experienced in teaching children to ski and develop skiing as a skill for life.
Your child will be joined by others of the same experience or ability as them, or if they're a beginner they'll be joined by others who've never set foot on the slopes! With reduced capacity, there'll be a maximum of 5 participants to 1 instructor in each lesson.
Included in all our Lessons:
- Instruction on our slope
- Skis, boots & helmet hire
We recognise that each child learns at a different pace and that some children may need slightly longer to successfully complete each stage. Our qualified ski instructors will discuss with you any recommendations they have for your child’s progression.
Although parents and guardians are not able to join us on the snow they can spectate from the viewing balcony - accessible via the upstairs restaurant.
