A fun and educational programme centred on the world of Ski Racing!
If your child has acquired their Étoile d'Or or their Fléchette and is keen to improve their times and challenge themselves, the "mini-champion" course offers a diverse mix of piste skiing and an introduction to competitive racing.

Over the week, each child will sharpen their skills with personalised coaching, practising slalom on marked ski runs.
