Our granddaughter did her 3* and I was very impressed by the two instructors and the way they split up the group to allow friends to learn together but while encouraging the better skiers to also learn what they needed to.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand how important it is for parents to be informed about their child’s progress, as this helps you encourage and support them at home. Our instructors are available at the village from 9:00 AM when we open, until 4:45 PM at the end of the day. They are always happy to take a few minutes to discuss your child’s progress—just let them know you’d like an update, and they’ll be glad to share how things are going. We’re here to make sure every child has a great experience and makes the most of their time on the snow!

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that your granddaughter enjoyed her 3* course. Balancing group dynamics—allowing friends to learn together while ensuring each child progresses at their own level—is something we take great pride in. It’s rewarding to know that our approach made a positive difference for her. We hope to welcome your granddaughter back for more fun and progress on the slopes soon!

Overall rating

The facilities are fantastic. With some instructors, the hand off of nervous or upset children from parents in the morning looks a bit insensitive to the children.

Thank you for your kind words about our facilities and for sharing your observations. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continuously improve the experience for our youngest skiers and their families. Please be assured that we give the utmost care and attention to these little ones. While our instructors are very experienced in managing separation tears—which can sometimes appear as indifference—this is never the case. In fact, within 20 minutes, the children are usually laughing and enjoying their time on the snow with their new friends. Should a child struggle to adapt, we always contact the parents to discuss the situation together. Our goal is to ensure that every child’s first experience on skis is positive, fun, and memorable. Thank you again for your trust and for giving us the opportunity to welcome your child to our ski school. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Overall rating

School is well organized, but classes are too busy and unclear what kids learned during the week. Not enough time in morning to talk with teachers about progress and learning objectives and kids seemed to ski the same before as after the week. Also, location of kids village is not great for parents dropping off. Would be better if drop off was at croisette, at least for premiere Etoile. And finally price. Cost is much higher than in other ESF locations.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We appreciate your comments and would like to address each of your concerns to provide clarity and reassurance. Group Size and Learning Progress: Last week, our groups were limited to 10 children per instructor, a ratio we consider optimal for both safety and individual attention. Our instructors are present from 9:00 AM when the children’s village opens until 4:45 PM, giving parents ample opportunity to discuss their child’s progress, learning objectives, or any questions they may have. We encourage you to take advantage of this time to speak with our team. Location and Drop-off: The Village des Enfants is strategically located at the heart of the resort, just a 3-minute walk from the Croisette. This central location is designed to be easily accessible for all families, regardless of where they are staying. The village’s unique infrastructure—including dedicated slopes and ski lifts, as well as facilities such as a ski room, restrooms, a relaxation area with a giant screen, and a dining room—ensures both children’s progress and parents’ comfort. Initial Assessment and Group Formation: Drop-off for “Première Étoile” groups takes place at the Village des Enfants because it allows us to assess each child’s level before forming groups. This is especially important as some children may be skiing for the first time or need a refresher. Our workshops, including slalom and parallel skiing, are designed to help children progress in a safe and structured environment. Pricing: We understand that the cost may seem higher compared to other ESF locations. However, the Village des Enfants is a unique facility in France, offering dedicated slopes, ski lifts, and a fully equipped building designed specifically for children and parents’ comfort. This investment in infrastructure and quality instruction is reflected in our pricing. We hope this information addresses your concerns and reassures you of our commitment to providing a safe, enjoyable, and progressive learning experience for your child. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or would like to discuss anything in more detail. We look forward to welcoming your family back to the slopes soon.

We hope to welcome your family back to the slopes very soon!
