New for 2026 :
Nordic Piou-Piou
During the February school holidays, let your child (from 2 ½ years old) experience their first taste of skiing with Nordic skiing.

More maneuverable and comfortable than alpine skiing, Nordic skiing is ideal for beginners and excellent for developing balance on two skis and mastering the basic snowplow technique, thanks to its lightweight and flexible equipment.

A pioneer in snow sports, it's the most fun and comprehensive discipline for discovering the thrill of gliding on skis!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the program for a week of "Piou-Piou Nordique" classes?
- Introduction to cross-country skiing equipment and the Nordic environment.
- Balance and coordination exercises.
- Basic snowplow technique.
- Moving on flat terrain and slight inclines.
- Themed games to practice balance and braking in a fun way, followed by the presentation of certificates to parents.
Can the children ski straight away?
Your child may need a little more time to acclimatise, get used to the new surroundings and discover a new world... Let them take their time, depending on their motivation and desires.
How should I equip my child?
Equipment is provided and included in the course fee.Tip: Headphones are strongly recommended.
How should I dress my child?
- Warm, comfortable, waterproof jacket, salopettes or overalls.
- Mittens rather than finger gloves.
- Mask or sunglasses (attached with a cord).
- UV protection factor 3 minimum.
Can we attend our child lessons?
Stay "hidden" behind a slalom pole to watch your child: it's only human, but your little one will spot you quicker than you think, and that will likely make them cry or take away from them their will to ski and have fun with their new friends! Instead, ask for a short review at the end of the session. We have your telephone number (to give to our hostesses) and in the event of a problem or major grief we will contact you quickly.
What if my child cries on the first day?
The Nordic Piou-Piou program remains a group activity where each child learns at their own pace. Some will be more active than others, so don't worry if you see your child waiting a little; they can't always be in action. The instructors will take care of them and gently encourage them to rejoin the group. The professionals at the Nordic Piou-Piou program are experienced enough to recognize the tears of separation that come with fear of the unknown. They will do everything they can to reassure and entertain your little ones. Open communication with parents is essential.
