Here is how to choose the right lesson for your child&#8217;s age, personality and level.<\/p>\n<h2>1. At what age can a child start skiing?<\/h2>\n<p>In Switzerland, most children put on their first skis between the ages of 2 and 4. More than age, a few signs show that a child is ready:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>they walk and stand steadily;<\/li>\n<li>they are comfortable for a few hours without their parents;<\/li>\n<li>above all, they want to: a child who is forced rarely makes progress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Snowboarding needs a little more balance and coordination: children usually start around 5 or 6. <a href=\"https:\/\/activalpine.com\/en\/activite-hiver\/snowboard-private-lessons\/\">Our snowboard lessons are open from age 5<\/a>, in 1 h 30 sessions for 5 to 6-year-olds and sessions of at least 2 hours from age 7.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Which lesson for your child?<\/h2>\n<h3>Private lesson: ideal for a first experience<\/h3>\n<p>For a very first lesson, or for a shy child, <a href=\"https:\/\/activalpine.com\/en\/activite-hiver\/skiing-private-lessons\/\">a private lesson is the most reassuring option<\/a>. The instructor focuses on your child alone and introduces skiing in a fun way. Your child moves at their own pace, without the pressure of a group. For the youngest, it is best not to go beyond 2 hours of lessons before the age of 8, as tiredness can quickly spoil the fun. That is the length of our shortest private lesson, at CHF 195.<\/p>\n<p>A private lesson can also be shared between brothers, sisters or cousins of a similar level: each extra child costs only CHF 20 for a 2- or 3-hour lesson.<\/p>\n<h3>Group lesson: learning while having fun with others<\/h3>\n<p>Children also learn a lot by watching others. <a href=\"https:\/\/activalpine.com\/en\/activite-hiver\/ski-group-lessons\/\">Our group lessons bring together 2 to 5 people<\/a> with a certified instructor, for CHF 135 per person for 3 hours. The small group keeps the teaching personal. It is a good option for a sociable child who has already had a first go on skis.<\/p>\n<h3>Family Group: the whole family with one instructor<\/h3>\n<p>Would you rather ski with your children than drop them off? <a href=\"https:\/\/activalpine.com\/en\/activite-hiver\/family-group\/\">The Family Group brings together up to 8 people<\/a>, children from age 5, with one instructor for the whole group. They assess everyone&#8217;s level and adapt the session. Beginners work on balance, braking and first turns, while the more confident improve their technique. Between exercises, there are shared moments: group runs, ski games, a small family challenge. The price is CHF 320 for a half day and CHF 580 for a full day, for the whole group.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr><th>Your situation<\/th><th>Our advice<\/th><th>Price<\/th><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Very first lesson, young or shy child<\/td><td>2-hour private lesson<\/td><td>CHF 195<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>2 or 3 children of a similar level<\/td><td>Shared private lesson<\/td><td>+CHF 20 per child (2 h or 3 h)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Sociable child who has skied a little<\/td><td>Group lesson (2 to 5 people)<\/td><td>CHF 135 \/ 3 h<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Parents and children from age 5, different levels<\/td><td>Family Group (up to 8 people)<\/td><td>CHF 320 for a half day, for the group<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Child from age 5 who wants to snowboard<\/td><td>Private snowboard lesson<\/td><td>CHF 290 \/ 3 h, +CHF 20 per child<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>3.

It does not include the lift pass, equipment rental (skis, boots, helmet) or insurance. Rental is available on request, on +41 79 855 45 45.<\/p>\n<h2>4. How a first lesson works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Welcome:<\/strong> the instructor meets your child at the meeting point agreed when you book, gets to know them and checks their equipment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Getting started:<\/strong> a few simple exercises to get used to the skis and find their balance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learning:<\/strong> gliding, braking, turning, through games. The programme adapts to the snow and weather conditions on the day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Debrief:<\/strong> at the end of the lesson, the instructor talks to you and suggests exercises to keep skiing together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"aa-tip\" style=\"background:#F3F8FB;border-left:4px solid #43A6D5;padding:14px 18px;margin:0 0 1.1em;\"><strong>Our advice:<\/strong> plan several lessons rather than one. Most ski courses last 3 to 5 days, and it is repetition that builds good reflexes. Between two lessons, repeat the exercises suggested by the instructor with your child.<\/div>\n<h2>5. Preparing your child<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Boots that fit now,<\/strong> not &#8220;for next year&#8221;: if they are too big, they hold the foot badly and cause falls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warm, waterproof clothing,<\/strong> gloves and sunglasses or goggles, plus a helmet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No poles at first:<\/strong> young children usually learn without them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sunscreen<\/strong> and a small snack in a pocket.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not too much, not too long:<\/strong> for a young child, around 2 hours on the snow is enough, ideally in good weather. Better to stop while they still want more than when they are exhausted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>6. Why Crans-Montana is a great place to learn<\/h2>\n<p>The ski area has 141 km of runs across 58 pistes, from the resort (1,500 m) up to the Plaine Morte glacier, at around 3,000 m. It also has a specially secured area for children&#8217;s first glides. For the 2026-2027 winter, the season is scheduled from 19 December 2026 to 4 April 2027.<\/p>\n<p>And once children have caught the skiing bug, our instructors will take them further: improving, freestyle, then <a href=\"https:\/\/activalpine.com\/en\/activite-hiver\/ski-freeride\/\">guided freeride for confident teenagers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Book early<\/h2>\n<p>Private lessons are often the first to be fully booked, especially during school holidays. <a href=\"https:\/\/activalpine.com\/en\/booking\/\">Book online<\/a> your private lesson (2 hours, half day or full day), your group lesson or your Family Group.
