Information about the Skipass

  • Skipasses are free for children under 5 years old (the free tickets have to be ordered directly at the ticket office with proof of age).
  • For the snow garden and Cristal International groups, you do not need a skipass from the first day of courses : you can wait for the instructors to tell you the day you will need it. 

Please note:

In the busier weeks, especially in the school holidays, our advice is to book as early as possible as the courese gets sold out quickly.

In the quieter weeks, a minimum of 4 participants is needed for the courses to be maintained. We will wait until the last moment before cancelling a course. If that is necessary, we offer a full refund or to change for private lessons.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS :

  • Helmet mandatory 
  • Don’t forget sunscreen !
  • Check weather forecasts to ensure that your children are dressed appropriately.
  • Prepare a bag with a snack for all children's groups in the snow garden.


Groups lessons are from Sunday till Friday or from Monday to Friday (outside of french school holidays) and takes place in the morning (subject to availability).

Skipasses are necessary for all group lessons, except for the first day of lesson for level Cristal International. Check with the instructors after the first day to ask if you will need it for the following day.

Please visit the ESI office when you arrive at the ski resort to finalize your registration.

The meeting point for all levels and lessons is the ESI ski garden. It is in front of the Hôtel Côtes Brunes on the bottom of the slopes. The closest shuttle stop is stop N°27, Hôtel côte brune (line blue, yellow and green).
