In this blog, we explore the value of
children's lessons in La Tania - are they worth it? Here are our thoughts…
1. Tailored options for young learners
La Tania offers a variety of lesson formats to suit different ages, abilities, and learning styles:
-
Group lessons: Most Ski Schools in La Tania offer group lessons for children aged 4–12, ranging from beginner to advanced. These are smaller groups for personalised guidance.
-
Private lessons: For maximum flexibility and one-on-one attention, private sessions are available from around €83/hour (or up to €620/day), catering for ages as young as 4.
-
English-speaking specialist schools: Many schools offer group and private lessons taught by English-speaking instructors, which is a big plus for non-French-speaking families.
2. What families love
Parents highlight the following benefits:
-
Quality of instruction and progress: It's tempting to save money by teaching your kids how to ski, but hitting the slopes with a professional ski instructor will help your children learn quickly in a safe environment.
-
Friendly, fun atmosphere: It's a great opportunity for your kids to make new friends.
-
Convenience: La Tania's hub is compact, with easy meeting points, car‑free streets, and relaxing, family-friendly restaurants.
-
Improves their confidence and they become more independent: There might be a few tears at the beginning, but after the skiing experience, they're off.
-
They get a medal: If they attend group ski lessons, at the end of the week, they receive a reward, usually a medal to show how far they have progressed.
-
Adults can take some time off and ski on their own: While your kids are skiing, you can enjoy the mountains knowing they're in safe hands, learning or improving their skiing with the goal of being able to ski as a family together.
3. Value and cost considerations
-
Group lessons: Typically, from around €60 for a 2-hour session — an excellent value, especially in a resort where prices tend to be slightly lower than higher-altitude neighbours.
-
Private lessons: While pricier, from around €105/hour, they offer tailored coaching and faster progress — ideal for confident children or those needing a focused learning environment.
-
Added extras: Note that some group packages may not include lift passes, equipment rental, or insurance — these are often added at booking. You'll also need to pack a snack or provide €6 for hot chocolate during breaks.
4. Overall assessment: Are lessons worth it?
Absolutely. La Tania boasts a range of lesson formats for children of all ages and skill levels. Whether opting for group fun and camaraderie or concentrated private sessions, the on-snow teaching is professional, encouraging, and attentive — and delivered in reassuring environments that put both parents and kids at ease.
The combination of child‑friendly terrain, convenient village layout, and access to the vast Trois Vallées domain makes La Tania a fantastic choice for families aiming to introduce children to skiing — or boost their confidence and skills.
