Younger children
Next door to the Grand Massif Express is a designated ski area for children from the age of 3. The Jardin des Neiges is fully equipped to keep younger children entertained (while you enjoy the slopes) with large inflatable toys to chase after on skis and a chalet to warm up the little ones if they get cold or if their gloves get wet. The emphasis is firmly on fun but allows your children to get to grips with standard ski conditions without danger. It is also possible for your children to have half a day in the Jardin des Neiges and then half a day in the creche where they will also be provided with lunch.
From 3 ½ years old, children are accepted into the standard French Ski School (ESF).
