When winter arrives, there's nothing like a family holiday in the mountains. Take your little tribe to one of the country's most popular ski resorts: Courchevel 1850. 

Immerse yourself in the warmth of the mountains and enjoy the fresh air and powder snow with your young children. Would they like to try their hand at skiing? It's all possible with esf!

Ski lessons for toddlers

From a very young age, your little ones may show a particular interest in powder snow. Whether it's to play with their friends and make beautiful snowmen, or to start their first ski descents, the mountains offer many possibilities.

esf Courchevel 1850 offers ski lessons for motivated youngsters from the age of three in the Children's Village. From beginner to first star level, the instructors will help your children discover the snowy slopes through a variety of exercises. 

The aim? To be able to take on the first tests: Piou-Piou, Blanchot, Sifflote, Garoloup and Ourson. At the end of their week of learning, your little ones will win their first medal, which they will be able to wear proudly until the next season.

Note that up to the age of five, your budding young athletes benefit from a free ski pass, which you can collect from the ski lifts.

Lessons specially adapted to your young children's needs

When they're just beginning to discover snow and winter sports, children need special guidance. Our instructors, specially trained to identify the needs of this young clientele, will be able to offer them perfectly adapted lessons. 

Learning to coordinate their movements, discovering a new environment... All steps made easier by the sound advice of our passionate instructors.

In group lessons, your little one will thrive in a group of children his or her own age, with whom he or she will bond and share unforgettable moments. 

And who knows? Maybe these lessons will mark the start of a new passion that they'll nurture winter after winter in Courchevel!

At 18 months, let them discover the fabulous Drago ski area

Are you staying with very young children who aren't yet old enough to put on their first pair of skis? Courchevel's nursery service opens its doors to them throughout the winter season. 

From the age of 18 months, they can come and discover new indoor and outdoor play activities, while learning about the world of Drago and his castle. In a perfectly safe environment, your children will have the opportunity to take their first steps on the snow and experience brand new sensations.

For your children's first ski lessons, or their enrolment in the Courchevel 1850 nursery, you'll have a choice of several packages to help you organise your holiday in the best possible way and guarantee your little ones an unforgettable stay. 

Full days or half days, with or without meals included, everything is possible!
