Group lessons for children and teens
Altitude run children’s group lessons all season long for children from 3 years old. We know how important it is to know your children are in safe hands. All our children’s instructors are qualified, fun, friendly and absolutely love teaching kids. EXTRA SAFETY – In the busy weeks we are lucky to have our trainee instructors on hand to provide extra support and increase the safety of the group.
We will never cancel your group when your place has been confirmed. However if your child is the only one booked in, we may reduce the running time of the group.
Polar Bears Club
Our small groups are split by ability level, so no matter if it’s your little one’s first time on skis or they’re already cruising the mountain, they’ll improve in a fun environment with our dedicated qualified Polar Bear instructors.
Our groups are up to 4 children per instructor in the off-peak weeks of the season. In the busy weeks we are lucky to have our trainee instructors on hand to provide extra support and increase the safety of the group, so in these weeks we have up to 6 children with both an instructor and a trainee to offer extra support to the group, therefore an adult:child ratio of 2:6. .
Together with our partners ‘Petit Verbier’, we also offer a full day option which includes skiing in our morning Polar Bear Club with an add-on afternoon of a hot lunch and exciting indoor and outdoor activities.
