Has your child never skied before? The Ourson course is the perfect place to start!
On their first skiing adventures, your child will discover the joy of skiing with the Ourson beginner course.

At their own pace, they'll learn the basics of skiing, gain confidence on their skis, and have fun alongside new friends, guided by a dedicated English-speaking esf instructor.

During the French school holidays, choose our Top 6 lessons, with a maximum of six children per group, for even more personalised coaching and faster progress.

Supervised mealtimes are available as an optional extra.

Find out more on our dedicated "Get insured"page.
What equipment should I bring for my ski lesson?
  • Please make sure you bring ski equipment suitable for your height and weight, including skis, ski boots, poles and a helmet (strongly recommended).
  • Don't forget to wear warm clothing and bring either sunglasses or ski goggles, as well as sun cream.
Can my child have lunch at the childcare centre?
Yes. Our supervised mealtimes service allows your child to stay with us over lunch, from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm, while being cared for by our team.

  • Please note that places are limited, so we recommend booking in advance. The supervised mealtimes option can be added when you book your lessons. If it isn't available, it means that all places have already been booked for your selected dates.

Which ski pass does my child need for their ski lessons?
  • For levels from Ourson to Étoile d'Or, a Méribel Valley ski pass is required.
  • Please note that for levels from Ourson to 2ᵉ Étoile, a Lessons + Méribel Valley Ski Pass package is also available for added convenience.
For more information, please visit our dedicated ‘Ski Passes’ page .
What is the difference between ski lessons and the Base Camp course?
  • Ski lessons are available for all levels throughout the season.
  • The Base Camp course is reserved for Étoile de Bronze, Étoile d'Argent and Étoile d'Or levels, and is available during the French school holidays only.
