There are three courses of varying degrees of difficulty, although children must be over 6 years of age and over 1.40 metres in height.
Activity Clubs
The summer activity clubs are a great idea if the adults want relaxation time in their chalets. Val s'Isere offers two great clubs for your children.

These clubs are a good idea for your kids to meet other children and make new friends, and allows the adults the freedom to go off and try those more daring slopes.
Archery
