Lessons Suited to Every Level
From Blue Prince to Swiss Snow Academy, children and teenagers progressively develop their technique, independence and confidence on skis.
Groups are organised according to participants' skiing levels and accommodate a maximum of 7 to 10 children, depending on the level.
🏔️ Ski Passes and Access to the Slopes
Blue Prince and Blue King Levels
On the first morning, no ski pass is required for these levels, as lessons take place in our beginner area.
For children attending afternoon lessons only, the need for a ski pass will depend on the group's skiing level. Please check with the instructor when dropping off your child.
The instructor will let you know when the group is ready to access the ski area and when a ski pass needs to be purchased.
Our beginner area has the facilities and slope needed for children to acquire the technical skills required before moving onto the main slopes.
When the Group Accesses the Ski Area
Depending on slope conditions and the group's progress, children may not use the ski lifts every day.
We therefore recommend purchasing a daily ski pass rather than a weekly pass.
If you purchase a weekly ski pass and your child does not use the ski lifts on certain days, no refund for the ski pass can be requested from the ski school.
The ski pass is not included in the lesson price.
It can be purchased at the ski lift ticket offices or online:
🍽️ Optional Lunch and Lunchtime Supervision
CHF 30.–
Per child per day, in addition to the lesson price.
A lunch option can be added when booking. Your child will be supervised during the lunch break, from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm.
You can collect your child from the same place where you dropped them off in the morning.
Please inform us when booking of any special dietary requirements, allergies or food intolerances.
