The first experiences on skis play an essential role in discovering skiing. At the ESi, the International Ski School, we offer a Jardin des Neiges adapted for toddlers from 2 and a half years old. This space allows young children to gradually discover snow, equipment, and their first skating sensations in an environment designed for their age.
At this age, the goal is not to immediately seek performance. The main thing is giving the child confidence and the desire to ski. The sessions are therefore based on a progressive, playful pedagogy adapted to the abilities of the youngest children. Through simple games and exercises, children learn to tame their equipment and gradually progress on the snow.

At this age, the goal is not to immediately seek performance. The main thing is giving the child confidence and the desire to ski. The sessions are therefore based on a progressive, playful pedagogy adapted to the abilities of the youngest children. Through simple games and exercises, children learn to tame their equipment and gradually progress on the snow.
Starting at 2 and a half years old, children discover a new environment. Snow, skis, shoes and a helmet represent new sensations to be experienced. The ESi instructors therefore take the time to familiarize each child with this world before starting the first sliding exercises.
The activities are designed to respect the the rhythm and attention of young children. The sessions alternate between games, movement on the snow, and small sliding situations. This approach allows for the natural development of balance, coordination, and the first sensations associated with skiing.
The game is a real educational tool. It allows children to progress without feeling like they are doing a technical exercise. By reproducing movements, following trails, or taking on small challenges adapted to their age, they gradually develop their first skills on skis.
