Nordic Snow Garden
Nordic Snow Garden: First ski lessons from 2 and a half years old
The first experiences on skis play an essential role in discovering Nordic activities. At the ESi, we offer a Nordic Snow Garden adapted for young children. This space allows them to discover snow, equipment and the first sensations of skiing in a reassuring environment.
games and development
The objective is first and foremost to giving the child confidence and developing their desire to ski. The sessions follow a progressive, playful and age-appropriate pedagogy. Through games, children work on their balance, coordination and their first movements on the snow.

The goal: to have fun!
At this age, performance is not a priority. The main thing remains giving confidence to the child and developing his/her desire to practice Nordic skiing. The sessions therefore offer a playful, progressive approach adapted to the youngest children. Through games, children discover their equipment, work on their balance and learn to move on the snow.
A ski learning program designed for little ones
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.
