Crèche & Activities
Crèche and Activities - Great part of our programs!
Our crèche forms the great "even more fun" part of our most popular programs: Program M and Program L, in which skiing is combined with the time at our crèche and the activities such as swimming, horse-riding, trekking with lamas, trips to the glacier, snow-shoeing or Nordic-walking.
PRE-SKISCHOOL
We also run a special Program XS, which is fully crèche-based, and is aimed at children who are still too young for skiing or those children, teenagers and adults who due to their high anxiety levels associated with new places and activities, should begin their skiing in a very gradual way. During their time with us, among other fun activities, the participants get introduced at their own pace to the world of skiing through play, short trips to the slopes, and activities related to snow, skiing and equipment. The overall aim is to awaken their desire to ski in the future and to minimise any possible anxiety associated with trying this new activity.

Gradual introduction for all beginners
with special needs
In addition, all the complete beginners with special needs enrolled on any of our programs, spend their first morning at our crèche getting accustomed to the new environment, instructors and ski lifts, and start skiing on the second day. The participants receive their equipment towards the end of this first day, in a peaceful environment, and get the opportunity to get used to it before the next day on the slopes. From our experience, this gradual introduction helps to reduce anxiety, giving the complete beginners time to get used to their skiing gear and skiing environment. The overall experience helps the participants achieve more during the rest of the week when compared to those who started skiing on their first day.
Contingency plan
Our crèche is also a great contingency plan for those parents who
would like to book skiing programs with us but are not sure if their child would enjoy skiing as much as we do! Should your child prefer other activities after all, or feel a bit under the weather one day,
they can change to our crèche free of charge
at any point and for any duration!
Optional activities
During their crèche time, we can take the participants to the following activities:
Swimming – swimming in our superb-quality pool with 75 metre slide, springboard, water jets, and a pirate ship.
Snow-shoeing – an easy, scenic walk in snow shoes with a treasure hunt and a guaranteed find on the way.
Glacier experience – a trip up to 3000 metres, hot drink at the panoramic restaurant at the top, adventure walk through the mountain tunnel and a short 3D film at the highest cinema around.
Lama trek – an absolute favourite with all our program participants, animal feeding and grooming session followed by a short and easy trek with your child’s favourite lama!
Nordic-walking – a gentle walk around our beautiful lake surrounded by snowy Alpine peaks.
Horse-riding – a riding session in the stunning Alpine scenery with a qualified coach, experienced in working with persons with special needs.
Open to all!
