Kids’ group lessons
Three hours a day in groups of 3 to 8, matched by age, level and discipline.
Multi-day courses for kids and young teens who've already had a taste of skiing or snowboarding. Your child makes new friends, and one instructor stays with them for the whole course. Every day brings a step forward, and by the end of the holiday you can all get down the slopes together.

What our guests say
5 out of 5 stars
Accoglienti, gentili e molto professionali. Dopo un' esperienza negativa […] hanno fatto tornare la voglia di sciare alle mie bambine. Il maestro Andrea è stato in grado di capire le loro difficoltà e le ha accompagnate nelle discese con professionalità e simpatia! Consiglio assolutamente!

Small groups, the same instructor
3 to 8 kids
Kids of the same age and level: each one gets the attention they need to improve.
Ski or snowboard
Choose your discipline and have fun.
A familiar face
Day by day, the instructor gets to know your child and how to help them grow.
With siblings and friends
When you book, tell us who your child would like to be with: we can keep them together if they're at the same level.
Step by step
What they'll learn
In the improver groups, the first big win is gaining confidence on the easiest runs.
In the intermediate and advanced groups, kids refine their technique and explore the Vialattea on increasingly challenging runs.
How to sign up
Sign-ups go through our booking office, so your child joins the right group.
Get in touch
On WhatsApp, by email or by phone: tell us your child's age, level, discipline and course dates.
We find the right group
We check availability and the best group for your child.
Confirm your place
For a multi-day course, a 50% deposit is all it takes; the balance is due by the start of the course.
First day at the Jolly carpet
Arrive a few minutes early: when parents are relaxed, kids are too.
Good to know
The rules that matter most. You'll find them all in our Terms & conditions.
Minimum 3 kids
If the group doesn't fill, we'll let you know 72 hours before and offer you an alternative of equal value. If it doesn't suit you, we'll refund you in full.
Cancellation
Up to 72 hours before the course starts: we'll refund 90% of the price. Once the course has started, missed days can't be refunded.
Running late
If you're held up, agree a meeting spot with the instructor, and your child will catch up with the group so no one is kept waiting.
End of the lesson
A parent or guardian must be there on time for pick-up: the instructor can't leave a child on their own.
Weather
Lessons go ahead in all weather: they're only cancelled and refunded if the lifts close.
What’s not included
- The lift pass: for group courses, ask our booking office which one to buy
- Insurance: third-party liability insurance is required by law and you can buy it with your lift pass
What to bring
- A helmet, required by law: without one, the instructor can't take your child
- Warm, waterproof clothes, in layers
- Gear: if you're not sure what to choose, we're happy to help
- A snack in their pocket, for energy during the lesson
