Advice for parents

Your children will be learning to ski with ESF Morzine instructors. Becoming a champion by the end of their week with us needn't be the sole aim!

From the age of 3, the Piou Piou Club offers a gentle introduction to the snow (sledging, snowshoes, skiing...) in a special environment.

For your children to enjoy themselves to the full, we recommend:

• gathering all the information you can from our staff when you book as well as from our assistants and instructors
  
• not pushing a child to ski who does not want to but rather encouraging them to try an introductory lesson at the beginning of the week (Sunday or Monday)
  
• correctly stating your child's age (not doing so may lead to their exclusion)
  
• equipping them with warm clothing: hat, mittens, sunglasses or goggles, handkerchiefs, sun cream and snacks
  
• ensuring your child has their lesson card, lift pass (for over-5s) and your contact details
  
• sticking to meeting times and rendezvous points
  
• not following or calling out to your child during lessons
  
• encouraging your child to ask to go to the toilet whenever necessary
  
• leaving instructors to decide when to move your child up a level; they are trained to know when is right for your child. You can trust their experience end professionalism
  
• Helmets are recommended and snowboard-specific protection gear is obligatory
