Children can start ski school from 3 years old in some resorts, but most places start from age 4 and some are from age 5 or 6. At this stage, it’s more about playing in the snow and gently sliding on skis for the first time. Older kids will still play games but there’s also more focus on skiing technique. If your kids are booked into Crystal’s Beanie Bear Club, they can start lessons from age 3 in France or 4 in Italy. As for snowboarding, children can join board school from around the age of 8.
