Kids Academy 6-12
You might think it’s difficult to get children any more excited about skiing than they are already. But our instructors’ boundless enthusiasm will do just that.
We run exciting 5 day or 5 half-day programmes for 6-12 year olds at 5 different ability levels.
What can they expect? Fun, video feedback, a freeride competition, a safe introduction to the park and, of course, medals.

Teen Academy 13 +
This week is dedicated to fun and awareness for 12-16 year olds, making sure they enjoy all aspects of being in the mountains.
During the week they’ll have the chance to try various different mountain disciplines, including skiing, snowboarding and telemarking. Then, with their new-found knowledge and experience, we’ll progress to more challenging terrain, the park and introduce them to off-piste. And we provide all the additional equipment.
