While theesf in Courchevel 1850 has developed a wide range of ski and snowboard lessons for holidaymakers from the four corners of the globe, it also wants local families to enjoy the pleasures of the resort with a dedicated offer.

The Enfants de la Vallée programme is specially designed to give the children of residents and seasonal workers the chance to learn or improve their skills in a warm and friendly atmosphere in the heart of the 3 Valleys.

Children of the Valley offer: a package dedicated to young skiers in the area

Thanks to the "Enfants de la Vallée" offer set up by esf Courchevel 1850, the children of the resort's residents and seasonal workers will be able to take advantage of dedicated ski lessons. On Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and during zone A school holidays, group lessons are available for the youngest children.

More than just a time specially devoted to learning or perfecting their skiing skills, families will also benefit from a preferential rate, which can be paid in instalments.

To take advantage of this offer, all you need to do is present your child's school certificate from the canton or an employer's certificate proving that you work in Courchevel. Once you have purchased your child's ski pass, all you have to do is email the dates when it will be available, at least 48 hours in advance. Your young skier will then be able to take part in Enfants de la Vallée lessons, subject to availability.
