More Info
Group lessons* are a great way for kids to learn, laugh, play and progress with other Kids Club skiers.
The Week Course starting Monday Kids Club package offers the best value in the 4 Vallées, with 4 mornings and a full day excursion, on Friday, to finish off the week in style.
What makes the Neige Aventure Kids Club Nendaz so special?
At Neige Aventure we are dedicated to passing on our passion for the mountains to children and nurturing the next generation of skiers.
Our courses accommodate 5 to 8 children maximum per class.
Children will take part in the Ski Rider Licence program, where our dedicated instructors will ensure that each child progresses as much as possible. They will learn new tricks and more importantly have fun with us here in the 4 Vallées! They will also give them a record of their achievement for the week and a medal at our Prize Giving Ceremony on Friday afternoon.
Friday is the excursion day!
Accompanied by their instructor, your child will discover the "4 Vallées" pistes during the day while still learning to ski (depending on their level they will go to Siviez, Veysonnaz, Thyon or Verbier).
If your child has a Ski Pass only for the "Printse" area you can buy an upgrade to include the Verbier region just for the day at CHF. 10.-.
Our ethos of "Your Life, Your Planet" will teach them respect for nature and safety on the pistes – they will get chance to learn this in a fun environment on the slopes whatever ski group they are in.
Black and Energy Level classes will have the opportunity to learn about avalanche safety at our NA Avalanche Safety Training Centre in Siviez.
*Our courses accommodate a maximum of 8 children per class.
Please note: If there are less than 3 people enrolled onto a ski group lesson, the course time will be halved. In low season periods (with low attendance), two levels or age groups may be combined within the same course.
Tips:
Book your lessons and ski equipment rental as a package for further savings.
