F.A.Q

What languages are the lessons taught in?

The main language is English, however if possible we will try to match the instructor to the languages that the children speak. Many of our instructors also speak French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish and Russian.

Where do groups meet?

All group lessons meet outside the Relais de Neiges restaurant; this is opposite to the medran lift station.

What happens if I choose the wrong level group?

On the first day we will always try to manage that every child is in the correct group for their level. If for some reason you are in the wrong level we will always try to move you as quickly as possible to a suitable group. There will be a supervisor on the slopes for the first 2 days to help manage that the children are in the correct groups.
