Situated in the heart of the Tarentaise valley, Les Menuires is an ideal resort for a family ski holiday.
The Famille Plus label, awarded in 2006, is proof of the resort's commitment to providing the best possible welcome for parents and their children, with specially adapted activities and facilities. Planning a mountain holiday with a young child?
The ESF Les Menuires Piou-Piou Club gives your child the chance to learn to ski in the exceptional setting of the 3 Vallées, the largest ski area in the world.
Club Piou piou: A safe environment for learning to ski
Because the safety of visitors to the resort is one of our top priorities, our ski school has set up an area entirely dedicated to helping toddlers discover snow and snow sports.
Club Piou-Piou ski lessons are available from the age of 3 (2 and a half at La Croisette and Les Bruyères), but can be replaced by non-skiing activities if your child does not feel comfortable.
In a marked area supervised by a team of instructors dedicated to teaching children to ski, your budding rider will learn the basics of the discipline in complete safety thanks to fun exercises and a teaching approach based on kindness.

Packages to suit all ages in Les Menuires
At the ESF, each lesson is designed to allow students to progress at their own pace and without pressure, particularly for beginners. That's why our Piou-Piou Club offers a variety of packages for parents to choose from, depending on their child's profile.
Children aged 2 and a half to 3 can reach Piou-Piou or Sifflote levels, while 4 and 5 year-olds can aim for Garolou, Ourson or Flocon levels.
Children's ski lessons are available on a half-day (morning or afternoon) or full-day basis. So your little one can learn to ski with professionals while still having time to relax!
