Kindergarten/ Child Care
The best option for children by far is the Panda Club. This is a dedicated ski school and nursery complex that is situated just above the cablecar station at Les Grands Montets.
Children from the age of 3 are taken to learn to ski progressing up to teenagers and adult level. They have a collection of outside ski toys and a mini tow lift.
