Tiny Tots | Ski Lessons from 3 Years of Age


Description

We’re renowned for our Tiny Tots ski lessons for young children!  Our child-friendly instructors are pleased to offer intimate one-on-one sessions designed to get children aged between 3 to 4 years of age up and skiing with a smile.

With a gentle and friendly approach, our primary aim for children this age is to teach them to love to ski, because we realise that if your child is enjoying their ski holidays, then you’ll enjoy yours.

Tiny Tots ski lessons for young children run for 30-60 minutes and are designed to be fun and dynamic rather than too technical.  The goal is that that children enjoy the experience and leave eager to ski again. They will practice simple turns and begin learning to stop in a snowplough, progressing towards being able to take a button lift independently.

Children who are already capable of taking a button lift unaccompanied may join children’s group lessons.

Ideal for

Tiny Tots tuition are ski lessons for young children especially designed for children aged 3 to 4 years of age who are not yet able to take a button lift confidently on their own.

This style of one-on-one tuition is the formula our own instructors use to get their own children onto skis with a smile.  It is all about ensuring that the child’s first ski experience is a positive one.

Hours

We prefer to run ski lessons for young children at around midday, when the weather is warmest and the slopes are quietest; generally these hours are recommended:

Dec-Jan : (12.00-12.30pm) or (1.30-2pm)

Feb-Apr : (12.00-12.30pm) or (2-2.30pm)

Pricing

One-on-one tuition for Tiny Tots :

  • 30 minutes 32€
  • 60 minutes 63€

NB: We recommend one 30 minute session per day for children aged 3-4 years, and one 60 minute session per day for children aged 4-5 years.

When a child is able to take a button lift independently, they may join our children’s group lessons.

Guest comments

“Just wanted to say a big thank you to Adrien for his patience and efforts this week helping me to learn to ski.  He was also tremendous with my son, Oliver who has just turned 3 and never skied before. I fully trusted Adrien to look after Oliver and in turn Oliver really enjoyed himself.”

–  Jude H

“A big thank you, Alan was perfect with Flynn (aged 4) who within 3 x 1 hour lessons was using the button lift, skiing unassisted without hardly resorting to snowplough, and who now follows us with no problem. This was all so much more than we expected!”

– Glenda T   (April 2018)

Description

Our private ski lessons and private snowboard lessons are bespoke tuition tailored perfectly to you.

At ZigZag, we handpick our team from a pool of the most highly qualified instructors in the world.  ZigZag’s English speaking instructors will help you achieve your goals as quickly and simply as possible, whatever your level of ability.

In private ski lessons, you’ll enjoy the full attention of an English speaking instructor who will develop your strengths and focus on improving your weaknesses.  With private ski lessons or snowboard coaching, first timers, intermediates and experts alike will progress rapidly with 100% of their instructor’s attention.

You might like to work on improving your parallel or ski with more fluidity and elegance, or perhaps you’d like to troubleshoot a bad habit you can’t seem to shake.  It might feel like the right time to improve confidence over steep, narrow or icy terrain.  Simply let your instructor know if you have a specific lesson goal, or let your instructor watch you ski and you’ll be offered suggestions on where and how you can improve your technique.

ZigZag instructors also have lift queue priority, so you get to jump the queue during your lesson time.

We recommend you book in advance for private ski lessons and private snowboard lessons, especially if you want to request a specific instructor.

Ideal for

Confidence boosting is one of our specialties and with a supportive approach, timid or first-time skiers will be gently challenged to achieve things they didn’t realise they were capable of.

In private ski lessons, advanced skiers will thrive under the challenges presented by our elite trainers, who’ll push you to technically develop precision skills on and off piste.

If you’ve skied for years, private ski lessons will improve your style and modernise your technique, which may have become a bit rusty!

Private family lessons are also great fun for  parents who’d like to ski with their children.

Hours

We generally run three sessions per day, but hours are flexible and scheduled according to demand, so get in fast to reserve your preferred hours or to request a specific instructor.

  • Morning session (09h15-11h45) or (09h30-12h00)
  • Midday session (12h00-14h30) or (12h00-14h00)
  • Afternoon session (14h00-16h30) or (14h45-17h15)
Pricing

Private ski lessons are priced according to the number of people taking part, starting at 55€/hr.  Our “Super Value” afternoon sessions offer especially great value for money!

Guest comments

Just a quick note to say that we had a great time in Samoëns and that Julien was a fantastic instructor… he did ZigZag very proud and was very professional in his teaching approach.   Ruth progressed a great deal with his help and I learnt a couple of things I hadn’t previously been taught!! Many thanks again. – Andy F

Adult group ski lessons

Adult group ski lessons


Adult group ski lessons


Description

With a maximum of 8 students per group, our adult group ski lessons allow you to pick up new skills alongside other adult skiers who share your level of ability.

A cheaper option than taking private tuition, adult group ski lessons are great for confidence boosting and are a great way to meet other adults who ski at the same level as you.  All ZigZag instructors speak English and offer both collective and individual attention and correction, so you’re guaranteed to make real progress.

Ideal for

Our adult group ski lessons are ideal for anyone looking to improve their ski or snowboard ability in a collective environment. Group lessons are great value for money, ideal for those on a tighter budget.

Those at beginner and intermediate levels can choose from our 3 or 5-day packages, while more experienced skiers might be interested in our 2-day Technical Top Up Clinics.

Hours

ZigZag’s adult group lessons run for 3 or 5 days, as follows:

  • 3 sessions of 2.5 hours, Monday to Wednesday (available during off-peak periods)
  • 5 sessions of 2.5 hours, Monday to Friday (available during high season)

Why do we offer a 3-day option?  Our clients have told us that they prefer to pick up new skills for a few days, and then to explore and practice their new techniques on their own later in the week.  Those wishing to continue developing their technique can choose to continue on for the full 5 days.  Why get tied into a full week of lessons when a few days is all you need?

Guest comments

The best fun I’ve ever had in ski lessons – our instructor was excellent and kept us all entertained and feeling good about ourselves.  Looking at the grumpy instructors leading massive groups we saw with other ski schools, we were so glad to have chosen ZigZag.  Super value for money – we’ll be back!!
