Course info
The Juniors version of the Academy is ideally suited if your children are strong skiers who have been through the ski school programs and are looking for their next skiing challenge. The perfect course to help get young skiers understanding the sport better and developing skills more akin to that of a young athlete than a kid who can ski well.
The courses are designed to build and develop skill and confidence, to enable people to ski all terrains including Moguls, Steeps, Variables, Powder and high level piste performance.
The group sizes will be really small with an absolute max. of 4 per class. We fully appreciate that between the ages of 8-14 there can be huge differences in physicality and specific needs for their age, size and of course ski ability. We’ll always have as many instructors as needed so this is managed perfectly to create the best environment to develop and have a good time. We’ll also have a trainee instructor accompanying bringing up the back to help out if and when it’s needed.
The course is suitable for 8-14 year olds who can comfortably ski down all pisted runs. If this sounds a bit much we have private lessons available or would happily recommend great kid specific programs with other schools for beginners/intermediates. If you’re children are 14-16 and you’re considering booking the course for them please get in touch and we can advise if it would be suitable or they’d be more suited to the adult version running the same week/times.
New for 2024, the Academy will be offering accommodation in Chalet Falcon – a beautiful 5-6 bedroom chalet in Le Chable. The Chalet will be exclusively offered to Academy clients with fixed pricing that doesn’t fluctuate depending on the time of the season!

There’s a number of room configurations that would be perfect for families so please take a look and contact Claire at clairethomas@warrensmith-skiacademy.com if you want any further info.
If this isn’t what you’re after and you’d like help with sourcing alternative accommodation please drop theteam@warrensmith-skiacademy.com a email with a rough idea of what you’re after and budget and we’ll do our best to help.

Once you get to Geneva airport you can get to Verbier by Train (www.sbb.ch) or if preferred there are numerous transfer companies that offer the route such as Alpybus or Alpine express.
If you’re looking to get to resort in a more environmentally friendly way or just don’t like flying; the train journey from London is really straightforward and a pleasure to experience. You can use https://www.thetrainline.com to find prices and look at the journey simply choose London-Lausanne or London-Geneva and your dates.
