Team spirit on the slopes
From Flocon to Gold Star level, our ski lessons allow each child to progress at their own pace, guided by caring and passionate esf instructors.

During the February holidays, we also offer Super 6 (max. 6 children) and Maxi Ski (max. 8 children) lessons at select meeting points — for more personalised and effective learning.

With La Maison des Enfants, your child can be looked after before or after their ski lesson, with optional lunch and/or activities available when booking.

And if my child already has the Gold Star?

Your most frequently asked questions

Find all the answers you need! Additional information, which ski pass to buy, necessary equipment… Everything you need to book with confidence!
Is Lunch Included in the “Full-Day” Group Lesson Package?
No. If you book only the ski lessons without the childcare and/or meal option, you will need to pick up your child after the morning lesson and bring them back for the afternoon session.

Meals are available as an optional add-on when booking a full-day lesson. If you choose the meal option, the Maison des Enfants staff will take care of your child between the morning and afternoon lessons, giving you a worry-free day with no lunchtime obligations.

Hot meals are provided by a catering service before the children return to class in the afternoon.
In a Full-Day Lesson, Will My Child Have the Same Instructor in the Morning and Afternoon?
No. A child enrolled in a full-day lesson will join two different groups—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This allows them to receive varied guidance from different instructors and also to make twice as many friends!
DO i need a ski pass?
Yes — both children and adults need a lift pass. esf lessons do not include access to the ski lifts.
  • Children under 5: lift pass is free. It must be collected at the lift ticket office with proof of age.
  • "Ourson" & "Flocon" levels (ages 5 to 11) in group lessons: special discounted lift pass available, after you've added the ski lesson to your cart online or at esf offices in resort. 
  • Teen and adult beginners (never skied): it’s hard to know in advance if your group will use the lifts on the first day. We recommend waiting to buy your lift pass until you’ve confirmed with your instructor
Val Cenis uses a dynamic pricing system: "1 day – 1 deal" where prices may vary based on purchase date.  Sometimes, buying directly from www.valcenis.ski is cheaper than the esf special rates. So it’s worth comparing prices before finalizing your purchase!
do i need insurance?
Yes, because esf does not provide insurance for its students. If your lift pass does not include insurance, we strongly recommend purchasing the Carré Neige insurance — a specific policy that covers you in the event of accident or illness on the slopes. Available when purchasing your lift pass, either online (on the esf or Val Cenis website) or at esf or ski pass offices in resort.
