 A children's club specially designed for the little ones, with a reassuring, playful and colorful environment

Whether it be the classic technique or skating we are here to provide for all your needs: from learning the
basic skills necessary to enjoy a gentle ski outing to the quest for high level sporting performance.

- CLASSIC is the original technique; it’s like walking with the addition of a gliding movement. Both skis stay
parallel facing the direction of travel. This is the technique generally preferred by beginners as it is easier to
learn than skating and is a more natural movement.

- SKATING is more like roller or ice skating with a side to side movement. This technique is much more
demanding physically than classic but ultimately allows the skier to go faster.
