    • Hi Andy

      There's no age limit as such, a lot depends on their development eg. how good their balance/coordination is, their strength, as well as if they actually enjoy it!

      I've known parents with children as young as two get them on skis for the first time, although not really "going skiing" as an older child would, more like a taster in a play session.

      In Arinsal there's the snow garden which serves as an introduction to skiing with the backup of the indoor and outdoor play areas, which is for children from four years. For younger children it's a creche service which is just indoor play. For a three-year old they could go to creche, then for an introduction to skiing a private lesson for an hour or two would let them try it out with a view to improving and trying more as they get older.

      For group lessons the minimum age is six years.

      I hope this answers your questions, however we'll email you with some extra information and price options tomorrow.

      I can't thank you enough.
