Club Piou Piou
The Club Piou Piou (from Piou-Piou level upwards) welcomes young children from the age of 4, in several ability groups: Piou-Piou, Blanchot, Sifflote and Garolou.

Your child discovers skiing through play in the children’s snow garden, a fun and safe environment, guided by caring instructors.

During school holidays, choose our Prestige lessons: a maximum of 6 children per group for faster progress in a small group setting.
