F.A.Q.

Lift passes are not included in the esf Les Angles prices.
If you wish, you can book your ski passes in advance via the Les Angles resort website.

• CHILDREN: the ski pass is compulsory from the FLOCON level.
  PLEASE NOTE, OURSONS will need one during the week, the instructor will inform you the day before for the following day.
  The ski pass is not compulsory for group lessons for LITTLE ONES which take place in the kindergarten.

• TEENS / ADULTS: the ski pass is compulsory for all levels of group lessons (SKI and SNOWBOARD), even beginners.

• SPECIAL NOTICE: for total beginners, a ski pass is not required for the first few hours (please check with the booking department depending on the weather conditions).

You can find all the information you need about the ski area on the Les Angles resort website or by contacting us.

Normally, nothing to worry about. The ski area is well equipped with snow cannons and esf Les Angles does its utmost to ensure that lessons are available in the area.

The choice is yours... but your instructor will be waiting for you at the meeting point. Bring ski goggles for better visibility and suitable clothing. There will be no refunds or postponements of lessons.

You must bring your own equipment (skis, poles and boots). Check with the sports shops in the village. You can also book your equipment in advance! Go to our partners page.

Free shuttle buses are available in the village of Les Angles.

• One stop is located at the foot of the PIOU PIOU area at the bottom of the village; this is a very easy way to get to the meeting point mentioned on your e-card; this stop is particularly valid for Piou Piou, Garoloup, Ourson, Flocon and certain levels of private lessons.

• There's a stop at the foot of the Les Pélerins ski lifts where you can easily get to the meeting point mentioned on your e-card; this stop is valid for 1*, 2*, 3*, Étoile de Bronze, Étoile d'Or, competition, freestyle, teen and adult lessons, snowboard lessons and advanced level private lessons.

There are no regulations concerning the number of pupils attending lessons.
In the interests of quality, esf Les Angles has set the number of pupils for Piou Piou and Garolou lessons at 10, and for Ourson lessons at 12, although these figures may occasionally be exceeded.

In order to harmonise the level and number of pupils in the group lessons, we no longer accept pupils from Tuesdays onwards in certain levels of lessons (adult group lessons and snowboard group lessons), in which case we will offer you private lessons.

For children's group lessons, don't hesitate to ask the booking department for details. We'll be happy to arrange for your children to join the group lessons, subject to availability at esf Les Angles.

If you would like to book for just a few days, you must do so using the contact form or by telephone, subject to availability.
If you would like to start your course in the middle of the week, please contact our booking department for details.

There are three ways to book your lessons in advance, which we strongly recommend:

• Online sales: for group lessons and La Maison de Piou Piou packages, ONLY FOR 5- or 6-day packages (Sunday or Monday to Friday).
• Contact form: for group lessons, La Maison de Piou Piou packages, private lessons and groups.

NO, because without full payment we cannot issue an e-card for access to lessons.

YES, but no more than 10 days before the date of your stay. Please note that bookings will only be confirmed once payment has been received.

Your bank details are validated via a secure payment with the Banque Populaire (official bank of the Ecoles du Ski Français). Every guarantee is taken for you and for us!

1) Visa, Mastercard, Carte Bleue, American Express,
2) Bank cheques made out in euros only for bookings made by post,
3) Paper or electronic holiday vouchers (if sent by registered post),
4) Cash payments are accepted only at the counter.
PLEASE NOTE: we do not accept cheques on site.

Our group lessons are designed for children aged 3 and above. If your child isn't quite 3 yet, you can still introduce them to skiing through a private lesson, where the instructor can better cater to their individual needs.

Available for children from 3 years old up to level 1*, this package combines group ski lessons with fun indoor activities organized by activity leaders during non-ski lesson times.
Children can be cared for:

• a half-day in the morning or afternoon (they'll need to bring a small snack)
• or a full day (they'll need to bring lunch and two snacks).

For the very young, lessons are held in a secure kindergarten reserved exclusively for use by esf Les Angles.

NO. If you are unsure of your ability or interest in taking part in the activities of esf Les Angles, please book a trial lesson on Sunday or Monday (subject to availability). If you then wish to continue your weekly lessons, depending on availability, it will be possible to include you in these lessons, and you will only pay the difference in the weekly ski pass (we will include your lesson already paid for in the weekly ski pass).

We strongly advise against this!
Lessons should be homogeneous (age and level) to enable better progress.
Teaching children and adults to ski is not the same.

To help your child progress outside of lessons, it’s essential to implement the advice and techniques shared by the instructor. When skiing with your child, apply their recommendations to reinforce learning and encourage regular practice. This family skiing time is the perfect opportunity to support your child's development while creating a fun and motivating environment. If you have any specific questions about the advice to follow, feel free to consult your instructor for further recommendations
