Kids' Snow Camp & Ski Lessons - Les Lindarets
Childcare, skiing & activities for children between 3.5 to 7 years old
ESF Montriond Les Lindarets are proud to welcome you to their new purpose-built Piou Piou building at the top of the Ardent lift on the Lindarets plateau. Children from the age of four years can learn the basic skills that will give them confidence on the snow in a fun and safe environment.
At the base of the 'Les Lindarets' sector in the heart of the 'Portes du Soleil' ski area, Montriond / Les Lindarets is a fantastic location for your children's ski lessons as you're just one chairlift away from Avoriaz, Châtel or Les Crozets, so you can easily access the Portes de Soleil ski area whilst your children enjoy the snow in the ESF's safe hands.
Club Piou Piou
The team offers a wide range of activities (stimulating games, crafts and discovery ...) either indoors or outdoors, weather permitting. Ski lessons are provided by the ski instructors of the ESF Montriond Lindarets in the Kindergarten and on the slopes if they're comfortable to do so.
Open Sunday to Friday, you can leave your children from 9:20am until 12.30. 178€ for six mornings or 44€ for a morning (in low season). After ski lessons there are playful activities inside and out, depending on the weather: games in the snow, walking in the snow, reading, drawing, crafts and watching videos.
The Piou Piou club is situated at the top of the Arden cable car.
Group Lessons
On the slopes of Les Lindarets is a "snow garden" featuring special equipment such as mini-obstacle courses, magic carpets and a rope tow. ESF instructors guide and instruct tiny tots in their first experiences on skis. Once they have learnt how to brake, stand up and master the snowplough, they leave the kindergarden for the real ski slopes.
Ski sessions last between 2 and 2 and a half hours but this does not mean that your child will necessarily be on his skis for the entire duration. ESF's professional instructors will alter the activites according to age, degree of tiredness or weather conditions.The snow garden also includes a warm chalet where the children can play, draw and watch videos.
All the ski instructors speak English and there are no more than 10 children per group, so the instructor can personal attention to each child.
Kindergarden classes begin on Sunday or Monday and finish on Friday; the week ends with a badge test, when your child will be awarded an ESF pin to show that they have successfully completed their course and passed the Ourson (teddy bear) level.
The school is situated at the top of the cable car of Ardent.
