FAQ
ask us
anything
What level does my child need?
They should descend blue runs independently and comfortably. If they’re still learning to turn and stop, Ski Kids or a private lesson will serve them better.
Are groups by age or by level?
By level first. A strong ten-year-old skis with riders of the same ability, regardless of age — that’s what makes a group progress.
Is there a snowboard group course?
No. Snowboard is taught in private lessons only, at the same rate as ski. It’s a deliberate choice: at this age, snowboarding progresses far faster one-to-one than in a group.
Why mornings only?
Three focused hours beat six tired ones, and afternoons stay free — for the family, or for free skiing to consolidate what was learned.
Do they ski off-piste?
Only where level, conditions and safety allow, and always at the instructor’s discretion. Thursday may include an introduction for the strongest groups.
Can we book a single day?
Yes — subject to availability.
What's the APEX Progression System?
Five leagues, from Basecamp to Summit, mirroring official Swiss Snowsports levels. Each level earned comes with a badge and is recorded on a card that carries from season to season.
My child is 10
Kids or Juniors?
Both work at ten. Juniors if they already ski confidently and want technique; Kids if they’re still building comfort on the snow. Tell us how they ski and we’ll advise.
