For children from 8 yrs old of all levels & abilities to learn safely through exploration and adventure with no more than 4 children per group.

Children learn best with constant encouragement and reassurance so the Classic Junior courses run for five consecutive days. Sessions are 2 hrs long, as the optimum learning duration for youngsters, leaving plenty of time to ski as a family during the day.

Age is important to our younger skiers so we aim for a maximum age range of 4 yrs in any junior group. 

All courses will have an element of fun and freestyle as appropriate to the level.

The Junior Classic programme is available during UK school holidays.
