From 2,5 years old it is possible to take a one-hour private lesson.

Is there a medal at the end of the course?

At the end of the week of group lessons, each child is rewarded with a medal attesting to their progress, as well as a certificate, valid in all ESIs in France and Switzerland (International Ski School).

What happens if there are less than 2 participants in the group class?

If you are alone in your group lesson, Adrénaline reserves the right to cancel the lesson or will offer you an alternative.

I'm not sure about my child's skiing or snowboarding level?

Do not hesitate to call us to define together which ESI level will be best suited to your child.

On site, a mini assessment test will be carried out at the start of the week and the teacher will change your child's group if necessary.

The goal is that each child has a class adapted to their age and abilities.

I have several children, can they be together?

If your children are at the same level, we will do our best to put them in the same group.

On the other hand, if they have different levels, they will have to be in separate classes in order to follow courses adapted to their respective level.

Can I choose my monitor?

Yes, of course, for private lessons you have the possibility to choose your instructor.
call us for the availability of your preferred instructor.

However, it is not possible to guarantee a certain teacher for group lessons for adults and children.

So that your children get the most out of their ski or snowboard lessons

The Adrénaline ski school asks parents to avoid attending the course and to question children during the lesson.

We thank you for leaving it to the instructors to decide on any possible change of class.

Each customer must insure themselves against the risks inherent in sporting activities such as skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, telemark or cross-country skiing.

Please check if you have insurance or subscribe to it when purchasing your ski pass from Télé-Verbier.

In the event of illness, accident, or closure of the ski lifts, this insurance offers reimbursement of the ski pass, equipment rental, children's group ski lessons, adult ski groups and ski lessons. and private snowboarding for children, teenagers or adults.

Is the material included in the price?

You benefit from a 15% discount on equipment rental from our partner back side located 100m “30 seconds on foot” from Médran.

*The price of materials is not included in the course price

How do I equip my child?

A whole ski suit or 2 separate pieces. The 2 pieces are more practical for going to the toilet.

Choose fleeces over wool sweaters.
Wear high socks but not too thick.
Avoid large creases in shoes by overlapping tights and socks too much.

We recommend technical underwear and sweaters. Avoid cotton.

In case of bad weather, a cotton or fleece neck gaiter is essential to protect the face.
Definitely no scarf. Wearing a ski helmet is strongly recommended, with an ultra-thin hood underneath in case of extreme cold.

When it's hot, you can wear sunglasses.
But the best with the helmet is a ski mask, orange or yellow for fog and dark for good weather. Mittens are better suited for toddlers and are easier to put on. The higher they go, the better, because the snow won't get in if it falls.

For ski lessons for teenagers, children, toddlers and snow gardens, put a tube of sunscreen, tissues and a 5.-chf coin in your child's pocket for a snack.

You can also read our gear blog post here.

Are helmets or poles obligatory?

Helmet is not obligatory but strongly recommended.

The pass is free for children aged 6 and under, however, you must still collect the subscription from the ski lift ticket offices with the child's ID.
