When you want to give your child ski lessons, it's not always easy to know which option to choose for the holidays.
Club Piou-Piou, Cours Super 6, etc., the esf Val Thorens website lets you quickly assess your budding skier's level, so that you can choose activities that are perfectly suited to your stay in the Alps. It only takes a few moments, and it's sure to help your child flourish on the slopes.
Learn to ski and improve with confidence
Choosing a ski course at a level appropriate to your child's ability is essential to your young skier's well-being on the slopes. They will benefit from a safe environment in which to learn and progress with confidence. In a more experienced group, your child could quickly lose motivation and confidence in their own abilities.
Whether it's a mistake or a desire to push them further, choosing a course that is too demanding can lead to a feeling of insecurity, which is not conducive to your child's learning. So when you book your holiday and your packages, it's important to take the time to assess your child's level so that they can enjoy motivating and stimulating lessons.

A course at their level is a motivating activity
If the ski course you choose has a lower learning level than your child's, the risk of them losing interest in their winter activity remains the same.
At each session, your child will perform exercises for which he or she already has the technical skills. Without ever having the chance to challenge what they've already learnt, your child won't be having fun, and more importantly, won't be making any progress.
esf's learning methods are based on kindness and pedagogy. Through fun sessions, your child will progress through the exercises on offer, discovering different sensations of sliding and mastering their trajectories and speed ever more precisely.

This progression is only possible if your child's level has been correctly assessed when choosing their lessons.
