THE LESSONS
- The Piou-Piou Club: FIRST SLIDE ON SNOW FOR LITTLE ONES OF 3 YEARS OLD
Our qualified ski instructors are delighted to welcome your little ones in our Piou-Piou Club for their first steps on the snow.
Thanks to our pedagogical project "Les Aventures de Piou-Piou", children will learn and have fun at the same time all in a safe environment.
Surrounded and guided by esf Courchevel La Tania instructors and supervisors, your children will experience, in a secured area, the thrills of sliding.
The programme is established with respect to the children's rhythms. The time is divided between discovery of the snow and mountain environment, learning to slide with the help of Piou Piou and his friends, snack break, fun games and activities.
